We are hosting a Black and Minority Ethnic online recruitment event via Microsoft Teams from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on Thursday, 27 October, as part of Black History Month.
There are well documented barriers to some people applying to join the police service. We, therefore, run a number of different recruitment events to answer specific questions from people from diverse communities. This is to make sure everyone has fair access to the Police Scotland recruitment process.
The consent, support and cooperation of our fellow citizens lies at the heart of the identity and legitimacy of policing in Scotland.
To ensure the bond is as strong as possible, we must fully represent and reflect the communities we serve. Inclusion is an operational necessity and morally the right thing to do. We are committed to increasing the number of officers and staff from under-represented groups.
