The Metropolitan Police in London has launched a Race Action Plan aimed at rebuilding trust with the city's black communities, which it says have been 'let down' over the years. The plan, co-created with Black officers, staff, and over 2,200 Londoners, seeks to make the police force truly anti-racist and inclusive. Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley acknowledged the long journey ahead but emphasized that the plan is a step in the right direction. The initiative has been welcomed by the Mayor of London, who highlighted the importance of improving trust and confidence among Black Londoners.
