Race Action Plan

Our work to deliver the Race Action Plan

The Police Race Action Plan was published in draft form in May 2022, followed by a national survey, which invited members of the public, individual police officers and staff, and representatives from other organisations to share their thoughts on the plan. The survey was one of the biggest of its kind, and every police force in England and Wales provided feedback on the plan.

From the national plan, we have been able to develop our localised Nottinghamshire Police Race Action Plan.

Our Race Action Plan aims to improve the trust and confidence of our diverse communities, especially our Black communities, and to address any racial disparities in the force. 

How are we driving forward our Race Action Plan?

The work we need to complete to achieve our plan relates to four key pillars, which further enable our communities to feel:

• Represented - We want communities to see themselves when they look at policing. The means focusing on representation, retention and a change in our internal culture
• Not over policed - We want to treat our communities fairly, with respect and dignity. This is about eliminating any racial bias and disproportionality in our service delivery
• Involved - We want to involve our communities in policing. We will only fully understand their needs by listening, this, combined with an intention to respond leads to an improved engagement
• Not under protected - We want to protect all members of our communities making them feel safe. This means taking action to keep the most vulnerable safe
