§ Mr. Bernie GrantTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many(a) civilians and (b) lay 665W contributors are currently employed or were used in the last four trainers' courses at the central planning and training unit; what subject areas they covered; and what was their ethnicity. [30722]
§ Mr. MacleanThe last four trainers' courses held at the central planning and training unit were led by eight directors of study, one of whom was a white civilian. These courses are designed to train police officers to act as trainers generally but also include elements of equal opportunities and community and race relations training. In exploring these issues, 15 ethnic minority police officers were used as members of discussion groups or panels.
