The assessment has now been completed by over 40,000 candidates and was used as part of the sifting process to put 'cultural competence' at the heart of the MPS's recruitment strategy. Prior to this point, the MPS had undertaken significant activities to encourage applicants from all communities within London to apply. However, the process had not fully taken account the need for Police Constables to effectively interact with people from communities and backgrounds that were different to their own. This online tool addressed this critical requirement. As the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen Greenhalgh stated following its launch: 'this new policy is about competence rather than colour'. Additional research is needed to provide more evidence of the online assessment's impact on the MPS. Nevertheless, the project demonstrates the value of occupational psychology and its ability to support the design of assessments that potentially have a wider positive impact on communities.
