Join Media Storm LIVE at Kings Place, London, Saturday 16th Sep, 7pm: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/ This is the final instalment of Media Storm’s three-part investigation into racially discriminatory police recruitment: and it’s time to talk solutions. What needs to be done to ensure that Black applicants to UK police forces are no longer 60% more likely to be rejected than White ones? Is internal reform enough, or are more radical measures needed? This episode investigates positive action schemes and revolutionary models of community policing. The hosts brainstorm with the UK’s best-performing police force when it comes to minority pass rates, Dyfed-Powys in Wales, as well as former and serving police officers with expertise in recruitment and lived experience of racial profiling and discrimination. The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia). The music is by Samfire (@soundofsamfire). Subscribe to Media Storm on Patreon for access to our FOI data: https://www.patreon.com/MediaStormPodcast  GuestsKaren Geddes, The Thin Black Line @KarenGeddesQPMKaryn Howells, Dyfed-Powys Recruitment LeadNia Rees, Dyfed-Powys Positive Action OfficerDr Pete Jones, psychologist @fatwhiteblokeBrendan O’Brien, Bluelight founderCharles Ehikioya, Metropolitan Black Police Association @ChazzzaCr Contact usTwitter, Insta, TikTok, Facebook: @mediastormpodEmail mediastormpodcast@gmail.com Media Storm first launched from the house of The Guilty Feminist and is part of the Acast Creator Network.
