My experience of diversity, inclusion and intolerance within the police service has been a really positive one. Hertfordshire police makes itself known as being really supportive of the LGBTQ community for example.
We have a whole network setup. We have events, guidance, a lot of the Hertfordshire cars have the pride flag on them. From what I've seen there's a massive focus on inclusion and diversifying within our force.
