Essex Constabulary has put a “strong focus” on tackling hate crime while failing to answer non-emergency calls swiftly enough, according to the police watchdog.
An inspection of the force found it had hired extra officers to investigate such “high-harm” offences and deployed “dedicated hate crime officers” in communities.
The same report also warned that it “doesn’t promptly resolve non-emergency calls” and said this could “contribute to a loss of confidence in the service”.
It comes with the force under intense scrutiny over its decision to investigate Allison Pearson, a Telegraph columnist, over an allegedly offensive tweet.
