Race

Thames Valley Police is committed to promoting racial equality and tackling racial discrimination.

We do not accept behaviour that involves intolerance to a person’s nationality, race, religion or colour. Race is one of our ‘six strands of diversity’.

The Race Relations (Amendment) Act 2000 places a duty on all public authorities to:

  • Eliminate unlawful racial discrimination.
  • Promote equality of opportunity.
  • Promote good relations between persons of different racial groups.
