West Midlands OPCC – Independent Scrutiny and Oversight Board (ISOB)
The Police Race Action Plan (PRAP) was developed jointly by the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), working with Black communities. It aims to improve outcomes across policing, address low levels of trust and confidence and other disparities affecting Black people. As part of the national PRAP, police forces across the country have committed to tackling the deep-rooted racial disparities that have affected Black communities for decades.
The Office of the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner wants to hear from Black people of all ages and backgrounds — especially those with lived experience of policing, the justice system, or those active in their communities. You’ll need:
- Awareness of the Police Race Action Plan (PRAP)
- Understanding of race, racism, and structural inequality
- Familiarity with equality, diversity and inclusion frameworks
- Awareness of the relationship between policing, public confidence, community engagement, particularly within diverse communities
