So what is \u2018positive action\u2019? West Midlands Police have a strong commitment to equality and diversity and aim to produce a fully inclusive workforce that reflects the community it serves. To achieve this they encourage applications from under-represented groups through their policy of \u2018positive action\u2019. <\/div>\n
