We hear from Assistant Chief Constable Dennis Murray and the National Race Action Plan’s Programme Director Dr Alison Heydari in July and August 2024 respectively, with West Yorkshire’s Chief Inspector Darren Beech in March 2025 introducing his Chief Constable John Robbin's presentation from the previous December. In light of the recent report from the Independent Scrutiny & Oversight Board, PolicingTV looks back at these interviews and looks at the answers given at the time as to why was the plan needed in the first place, and what it would take for policing to rebuild trust with black communities? The video sets the plan in the context of long-standing mistrust, the impact of George Floyd’s death and Black Lives Matter, and the wider history that continues to shape confidence in policing today.
