Welsh police introduce ‘no racism’ pact

North
Wales Police will make all new recruits sign a ‘no racism’ pact following a BBC
documentary exposing racist officers.

The
force will include the pact in its recruitment pack, and anyone wanting to join
will need to sign the document – a personal contract between themselves and
Chief Constable Richard Brunstrom.

Any
breach of the contract will lead to dismissal.
