Police Diversity Spending Sparks Outrage: \u00a310 Million Questioned Amid Funding Requests

Concerns rise over \u00a310 million spent by UK police on diversity initiatives. A GB News report reveals that UK police forces have spent more than \u00a310 million on diversity and inclusion posts. This has prompted criticism from former detective Peter Bleksley, who questions the allocation of such significant funds while the police request additional funding. \"How on earth can they have the gall to do that when they are wasting huge sums of money on pointless, failing DEI?\" Bleksley stated in a recent GB News interview. The report highlights the potential impact on police staffing levels, suggesting that the money could have been used to hire 354 additional officers. The debate underscores the ongoing discussion surrounding police priorities and resource allocation in the UK.
