A shocking report published in 10/01/2012 found that "complaints of racism against the police have risen by almost a third in four years". During that time, "officers and police staff have been allowed to continue their jobs despite being found racist while they were sending racist emails and making racist jokes". More than half of all the complaints were against London’s Metropolitan Police.
In Cambridge, five officers have faced misconduct hearings for racism, with two being sacked and three being given warnings. Two Community Support Officers on the force were given written warnings for making racist comments.
There have been many unpublished allegations of racism against the police that have not been included in the report. Racist incidents have caused British people and the visitors not to trust the police anymore and this is a warning ring for the governors who have still ears to listen to.
