Over the past year, several high-profile police killings have re-ignited a worldwide discussion about the relationship between ethnic minorities and law enforcement. With over 30,000 police officers patrolling London’s streets, is there the same friction between young black people and the police there?
We at AVIARD also believe that the police have a pivotal part to play in the community but know that our trust and relationships with them have been broken by a number of officers over the years.
We feel that in order to move forward more unified with the law enforcement agencies we need to ensure that the voices of the next generation are heard and that they can also see a lasting change towards how they are handled and perceived by those in authority!
