Black Officers & Stops. Increasing racial congruence between police officers and the community being patrolled is associated with fewer stops of Black residents over time. Black officers stopped fewer Black civilians than White officers, with larger effects in units with higher percentages of Black officers. Moreover, as the number of Black officers in a shift increased, stops of Black civilians declined for all officers. But how does this affect the safety of Black civilians, who are more likely to be victims of murder and other violent crimes? How was that impacted?

What an inspiring day filled with insights and reflections on race and equality in policing! 🚔✨ We delved into the barriers faced by Black, Asian, and Mixed Heritage officers and staff, and how we can start to reclaim our narrative. 📖 The importance of diversity of thought to enhance any organisation was clear, especially for policing—where every perspective matters. 🤝 Feeling safe within policing is the first step toward feeling a true sense of belonging. 🛡️ If we want to tackle racism effectively, we need to ‘turn off the tap’ before we can clean up the mess—it’s time to address the root cause. 🚰 It was great to see optimism about change! 🙌. A consideration to shifting from four pillars, Shaun White We discussed focusing on two key pillars: ‘Disproportionality’ and ‘Community Engagement’. The message was clear: don’t embark on this journey alone. There’s ‘strength in numbers’, and having supportive teammates makes all the difference. 💪👥 One thought that stood out—let’s shift from ‘allyship’ to sponsorship, championing each other’s growth and progress. It’s not about a revolution but rather an ‘evolution’, where everyone plays a part in the solution. 🌱 People in positions of power have the opportunity to ‘flip the switch’ and drive change quickly. 🔄 Let’s be brave, take that leap of faith, and start shaping the future—just like in agile project management, what we set out to achieve might change as we progress, and that’s okay. 🚀 Colin B.

📉 Black women are 1.4 times more likely to be arrested than white women. Black women face higher rates of arrest, charges and convictions than white women, highlighting deep-rooted systemic biases within the criminal justice system. As we focus on reforming women’s prisons, it’s essential to address the over-policing and criminalisation of Black women. We must challenge these inequalities and demand a justice system that treats all women fairly. #BlackHistoryMonth #ReclaimingNarratives #JusticeReform
