    West Midlands Police still has a lot of work to do to create more trust in black communities, according to its chief constable.

    Police recruits

    Sir David Thompson told the BBC the "seismic events" of last summer's Black Lives Matter protests, in the wake of George Floyd's death, have not been lost on the force.

    He said it had been working to recruit a more diverse workforce with 17% of current recruits from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds.

    The chief constable said officers had also been examining how they use stop-and-search powers in communities.

    "There has been a lot of work going on around that, but certainly how we use our powers, how we demonstrate legitimacy and how we recruit our staff are the big focus," he said.
