Mishal Husain is joined by a panel to look at the future of policing.

Today presenter Mishal Husain will be joined by an expert panel to consider how trust can be restored in the police.

The Today Debate is about taking a subject and pulling it apart with more time than we could ever have during the Today programme in the morning.
 
Today presenter Mishal Husain will be joined by an expert panel in the BBC's Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House to look at the future of policing in 'The Today Debate: Policing and us - how can we fix it?'

The panel includes Baroness Louise Casey, whose year long review into the Metropolitan Police found the force suffers from "institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia".

Joining her will be Mina Smallman, whose daughters Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry were murdered in London in June 2020. Two Met officers were subsequently jailed for sharing images of their bodies in a WhatsApp group.

The Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley. Steve Hartshorn, National Chair for the Police Federation of England and Wales, one of the largest police staff associations in the UK representing more than 130,000 rank and file officers and Sir Peter Fahy, former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police.
