Police Anti-Racism Commitment

The Anti-Racism Commitment was developed out of the outcome framework that appeared in the first version of the Police Race Action Plan, and which set the overarching ambition of the plan for a police service that was anti-racist and trusted by Black people.

The document aims to provide a legacy for the Police Race Action Plan and create an opportunity for Chief Constables to restate their ongoing support for a police service that is anti-racist. Like the original outcome framework, the Anti-Racism Commitment set out the goals of an anti-racist police service. In addition, it aimed to provide a clearer description of what anti-racism means in a policing context, and what is required to become anti-racist.

In the summer of 2026 the NPCC announced it would undertake a review of the Anti-Racism Commitment. This review is currently taking place and the outcome of this review will be published in due course.
