Discriminatory policing harms the relationship between law enforcement and the communities they serve. The European Commission’s Anti-Racism strategy 2026-2030 encourages EU member states to train police on both hate crime and on addressing racial bias, including discriminatory profiling practices. Often missed in hate crime training, this course tackles the gap through a multi-stakeholder approach. For police, civil society, equality bodies, and public authorities across the EU who want to learn and apply ‘what works’ to improve relationships and strengthen long-term collaborations. Explore key forms of discrimination, including racial profiling and police violence, become familiar with EU and international norms and standards, learn evidence-based fair policing strategies, and how to challenge harmful practices.
