More than 70,000 people apply to join the police service over a 6 month period

Sounds like good news? But is this enough to meet the needs of a police service, which needs to recruit over 48,000 officers over a 3 year period?

In this episode, Brendan argues how it isn’t and how the ‘radical progress’ needed to resolve a once in a generation opportunity to ensure fair representation of BAME and other minority groups in the police service will not happen through ‘additional training,’ it will need a massive overhaul of the recruitment process and culture within the service.
