Dear U75,
Please see attached a flyer for a unique event happening Monday, 24th October, at 6 pm here in Lambeth, where we will be discussingBaroness Loisue Casey'sReview of the culture of the Metropolitan Police Service. The organisations sponsoring this event would be entirely grateful if you would share this information among your networks.
Black public confidence in the Metropolitan Police Service is at an unprecedented all-time low, with Lambeth rating as the worst borough in London across a range of public trust, race equality and disproportionality indicators that detail the reality of the racist, misogynistic and discriminatory use of Police powers and the disgraceful treatment of their Black, Asian and ethnic minority police officers and staff.
Such are the concerns that a range of key black national institutions and networks are coming together in an unprecedented alliance to evaluate asses and identify the detail of the damming Baroness Louise Casey's Review into the culture of the Metropolitan Police Service. The meeting will explore Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley's response and what should be the response of the Mayor's Office, local Councils and local communities to the repost's devastating findings.
The event is Monday 24th October 2002. Doors open at 6 pm and will take place at the KaribuEducation Centre, 7 Gresham Rd, Lambeth, SW9 7PH.
Speakers from all the national Black networks are featured on the flyer, plus more are yet to be announced, including the Editor of the Voice Newspaper and local community speakers. In addition, both the Mayor's Office and Commissioner have been invited, but neither has confirmed their attendance as yet. We hope they do so. Lambeth Council will be represented by Cllr Hashi, Cabinet Member for Community Safety.
Please book your place on Eventbrite now.The Explosive Casey Review Findings Into Met Police Culture.
It is stunning to think that this landmark report is only an interim report. Baroness Casey's findings have amplified and reinforced the stark criticism levelled at the Met by London's black communities for decades.
These criticisms have been consistently expressed by myself and others at a local level here in Lambeth and across the capital, Criticisms that have been routinely ignored, denied or dismissed by the Met and other accountable bodies who have chosen to stay silent or who have been complicit in maintaining the status quo of a toxic culture that is highlighted in this interim report.
To suggest that the Casey Reviews findings were 'a surprise' or that senior officers at Scotland Yard or here in Lambeth were 'unaware' of these critical issues is, in truth, wholly disingenuous and frankly insulting to our communities. These issues have been raised consistently here in Lambeth and across the capital by communities, the media and Police professional bodies over the last decade.
The growing levels of genuine anger, deep anxiety and heightened concerns among London's and Lambeth's Black communities are the highest I have ever known in 40 years as a community advocate and servant leader.
Please share this flyer with your networks and ensure that we hold the Met to keen account in their attempts to tackle entrenched systemic racism in the Metropolitan Police Service.
