Action West London (AWL) recently partnered with the Metropolitan Police Service for a successful webinar aimed at encouraging women of colour to consider the wide range of career opportunities in the service. The event highlighted the diverse opportunities within the Met Police and the positive impact that women of colour can make in serving their communities.
The webinar featured inspiring discussions with current female officers from diverse backgrounds.
