Judge dismisses suit by white Ypsilanti police officer alleging race-based discrimination

  • On April 3, 2025, an independent review was released concerning Thames Valley Police’s response to an employment tribunal defeat and its broader practices related to diversity and inclusion, with the report commissioned by the Police and Crime Commissioner.
  • The review followed a tribunal published in August 2024 that found Thames Valley Police had discriminated against three white officers by denying them equal application opportunities for a Priority Crime Team role.
  • Led by Kerrin Wilson QPM, the review strongly questioned the Positive Action Progression Programme's governance, noting poor consultation and lack of transparency that contributed to the tribunal loss.
  • Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Barber acknowledged mistakes, stating there was ‘‘a lack of consistency, information and inclusion’’ and that parts of the force felt ‘‘left out and overlooked.’’
  • Chief Constable Jason Hogg leads efforts to implement the report’s recommendations, which emphasize organizational buy-in, Equality Impact Assessments, training, and reviewing recruitment to foster fairness and reduce divisions.
