The Work of the Lancashire Black Police Association
A key part of our work at the Lancashire Black Police
Association is to build trust and confidence between Lancashire
Constabulary and the county's black and minority ethnic communities.
One way of doing this is to play an active role in improving the
recruitment, retention and progression of BME staff by promoting
Lancashire Constabulary as an employer of choice to those communities.
We were launched as an association in November 1997,
and since that time, we have worked hard to promote equality of
opportunity within the Constabulary, giving positive input into
the field of race and cultural awareness. In addition, we provide
a social network and offer active help to our members in finding
and using mainstream services such as the services of the Police
Federation.
It would be naïve of anyone to think that racism
does not exist, and that's why we are working harder than ever to
encourage better communication, greater understanding and fairer
opportunities for all.
If you have a problem with which we may be able
to help - or if you have any views or ideas that you would like
to bring to our attention, then please contact
us. We'd be glad to hear from you.
