A councillor has spoken out after a white man did not have his application progressed
Potential recruits to West Yorkshire Police are being turned down because they aren't women or ethnic minorities, a Kirklees councillor has claimed.
The councillor wanted to know whether the Mayor felt that the process of obtaining a degree to enter the Force was slowing down the recruitment of new police officers and whether the email was to do with the “racism that’s involved in recruiting new officers at this moment in time.” The issue was brought up at a council meeting earlier this year by the same councillor when it was said that the police’s recruitment process was “hampered” by diversity and inequality. West Yorkshire Police responded to this comment by saying: “[We are] committed to improving equality, diversity, and inclusion within the organisation."
