The watchdog found a lack of consistency is “likely to compound damage to confidence in policing within the black, Asian and minority ethnic community”
The PSNI approach to investigating a Protect Our Monuments protest at Belfast City Hall contrasted with how the force dealt with Black Lives Matter protests the same month, police ombudsman Marie Anderson has said.
She then decided to conduct an investigation into the conduct of officers who policed the Protect Our Monuments protest, which was organised to defend war memorials amid a number of attacks on statues of historical figures at the time. In addition, the ombudsman said there was no evidence that the senior investigating officer took other relevant information relating to intelligence into account and the case was closed.
“Viable lines of enquiry existed if the available intelligence had been accessed and in my view the senior investigating officer did not carry out a thorough and careful investigation. “I also welcome the work of PSNI since December 2020 to address the recommendations made as a result of my Black Lives Matter investigation to build confidence in policing and ensure these communities experience policing on an equal footing.
