Modern Policing?

[kneeshooter]

The other day there I heard an interesting debate on Radio 4 about diversity training. One of the participants was suggesting the Diversity training industry was actually hiding rather than changing cultures in society - and that by "ticking boxes" organisations were being encouraged to "pay for experts to give talks" rather than actually addressing issues.

I thought this was quite interesting - though of course the question remains whether there is a better course of action...

I was reminded of this having caught a bit of fly on the wall of the Met Police this morning - the Missing Persons Unit catches up with one of their targets and opens the conversation with the heart-warming "Ere Mate - You Ain't Earing Strange Voices Or Nothin Are You?". Modern sympathetic policing...

Also, have a read of steve_c, who this morning has some depressingly true comments about modern politics.

No I wasn't *L*

However I can only tell you the way things are meant to be interpreted. I personally have always been suspicious of these overpaid consultation types. which is why we do all our own in house training here. Then we can focus on culture change not box ticking.

Sometimes it feels like a losing battled, admittedly.
