A documentary series with Desmond Wilcox.
The Metropolitan Police wants more black and Asian recruits - young men and women trained to fight not only crime but also prejudice. Three men and four women, from the ethnic minorities of London, joined the blue intake at Hendon Police College more than two years ago. The eldest, Denzil, a 32-year-old West Indian, was the only graduate. The youngest, Julie, aged 20 with a Guyanese father, was working as an airline receptionist. Then there's Faz Ahmed, a Pakistani customs officer from Hounslow, plus a South African clerk, a West Indian social worker, and a part-Indian restaurant manageress. They had all faced prejudice before. They knew they would probably find it even within the ranks of the police force. Ahead of them, 20 pressure-filled weeks in the police college and then one of the toughest jobs on London's streets.
