New Dorset Police chief will end stop-and-search racism

Available for over a year

Dorset's chief constable has vowed to end racial profiling over police stop-and-searches. Chief Constable Amanda Pearson, who previously apologised for "institutional racism" in the force, said she aimed to end the disparity but gave no target date. In a 91福利社 interview to mark her first two years in post, she said Dorset was "still an outlier" for stop-and-searches. "We should at some point in the future - and I can't yet predict when that can be - we shouldn't see that disparity in stop-and-search."
