The document discusses diversity in the Metropolitan Police. It was formed in 1829 and since 2012 has been governed by the Mayor of London. There have been ongoing issues of discrimination both internally and externally. The importance of diversity management is discussed as any discrimination could damage the police's relationships with the public and affect its work. Legislation like the Equality Act 2010 requires eliminating discrimination and advancing equality of opportunity. A diverse workforce is also beneficial for business reasons like having a flexible and representative workforce that can generate new ideas. Increased media awareness means any incidents of discrimination could be highly publicized. A case study of discrimination against a black female officer is presented.
