In this weeks podcast I interview my ex-colleague from the West Midlands Police, Keith Fraser. Keith tells the fascinating story of how he joined the Metropolitan Police in 1985. This was very unusual for a young black man from Birmingham in those days. He worked there for 20 years before transferring to the West Midlands Police where he retired as a Superintendent. Keith is now the Chair of the Youth Justice board for England and Wales and one of the authors of the recent report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, commissioned by Boris Johnson to investigate race and ethnic disparities in the UK.
