Equality and Diversity

At the very heart of everything Essex Police does is the community. Communities are diverse and getting to know each and every one within the county helps them to do their job more effectively. Put simply, diversity means difference across race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, faith and age.

They take diversity related issues very seriously and continually review how they can best meet the needs of the residents of Essex and those who work and visit there.

It’s important to them that your experience of Essex Police is a positive one and that means being sensitive and responsive to your individual needs.

To make sure that happens they have a Diversity Unit constantly working to raise awareness of equality and diversity within the daily business of Essex Police.

Valuing differences, treating people fairly and judging people on merit makes for better policing and they are determined to make sure nobody who comes into contact with them is disadvantaged. They strive to make the way they deliver their services, provide information and carry out their employment functions open and accessible to all.
