Official data suggests black people die at twice the rate of white people in or following police custody, but the charity Inquest says data never made public shows black people are more than seven times more likely to die.
"The police are resistant to facing up to the reality of institutional racism and the IOPC lacks the political will to establish a framework, based on the current statute, that would deal with this persistent issue.
"The idea that racism exists beyond explicit bigotry is not accounted for in the current bureaucratic and political structures. "That's why we launched a programme of work in 2020 to explore, challenge and address issues of race discrimination in policing in order to drive real change in police policies and practice.
"We remain committed to working with Inquest and others to reduce deaths in custody and end the disproportionality that people of colour face in policing, the wider criminal justice system and society as a whole."A Home Office spokesperson said:"We expect police to take a zero-tolerance approach to racism within their workplace.
