That would be great, Michele, but we do need to make an effort to reach out to groups who are underrepresented in the police. This isn’t a case of these people being disinterested in a career in policing but more often that they feel it isn’t a serious option for them.
How about you simply recruit “good” police officers regardless of sex or ethnicity, surely gender or skin colour should not matter (unless you make a point of mentioning it of course) ?

That is exactly what we do. All applications we receive will be judged on their individual merits alone and absolutely no other factors. Find out more about this important issue here: https://careers.btp.police.uk/about_us/positive_action.aspx …

It’s demographic targeting. You’re recruiting for a public service... you’re not selling a product to a specific set of potential customers. In my opinion, anything other than desired skills is unnecessary!
