A SENIOR police chief is aiming to attract more officers from ethnic minorities.
North Yorkshire Chief Constable David Kenworthy said: "Even though we succeeded in achieving our recruitment target of 1,420 officers to become the fastest growing force in the country, it is still proving extremely difficult to recruit ethnic minority staff."
He spoke out after a Government inspector praised the force for its attitude towards race and diversity issues.
