The Metropolitan Police still needs more black and Asian officers. More than three years ago Desmond Wilcox filmed the progress of seven such recruits - three men and four women - through training and on to the streets. But by the end of the series, two had quit. Since then, one more has left the force and those still serving have learned much about prejudice that should be useful to their bosses.
This programme provides an update on the progress of those who stayed the course, and they join those who quit for a debate with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Peter Imbert, on the force's future as a multiracial organisation. Wilcox, who chairs the discussion, believes racial prejudice still exists in areas of the force: "I discovered that there's less of it than many people think, but much more of it than there ought to be. And, what is more, the commissioner agrees with me." Director John Pettman
