Diversity in Modern Policing -November 2008 A survey conducted by The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) and Demos , with key findings, and conclusions. In many respects, the UK police service is the envy of the world. Their commitment to protecting the country’s citizens is not in question. Across the country they aspire to deliver quality service, work together, respect one another, and learn from experience. However the issue of discrimination and representativeness in the police has long been an important one. As we approach the ten-year anniversary of The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry, the Police Service must critically review its achievements in relation to diversity. The National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) and Demos have undertaken a survey to map the distribution of minorities in the police – with a particular focus on Muslims. Currently the Police Service is required by law to monitor only race, gender and disability. Some police forces monitor faith but they are under no obligation to do so. To our knowledge this is the first time in British policing history that such a survey has been undertaken, and here we present some of the key findings Price:£19.95
