3 officers claimracial abuse

THREE members of the PSNI - including a police inspector - have claimed they were racially bullied or harassed since 2005, it has been revealed.

The PSNI released limited details in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

A spokesperson stated: “The PSNI Bullying and Harassment Policy was implemented in January 2005; therefore data can only be retrieved from this date. “There have been 3 allegations of racism recorded against employees.”

In each of the cases - involving an Inspector, a Constable and Support Grade Band 1 employee - the complainants claimed they were bullied/harassed on the grounds of their race.

All of the cases were investigated internally via the PSNI Bullying & Harassment Procedure and one case remains pending whilst the other two cases resulted in no further action
