Absolutely. It was disappointing to see the response to the small number of adverts that showed racial diversity in the PSNI. The reaction to those was incredibly disappointing for those of us who wish to see a more inclusive, more representative Police Service. Let us be clear: an inclusive and representative Police Service will also be more effective and more able to connect with members of the public whom it serves and seeks to protect.

It has also been a disgrace to see the many anti-PSNI posters that appeared during that campaign and threats to new officers in the community. Those are wider issues that we need to look at as a society. We do not see those things happening solely with regard to the police, but it is incredibly disappointing when they do.
