10 black and ethnic minority officers say racism is getting worse in Britain 's largest police force.

One officer said: 'They keep putting you down until you break and you feel nothing, no confidence, nothing' Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley accused of not doing enough to eliminate discrimination.

Assistant Commissioner Pippa Mills said she was “incredibly sorry to hear those accounts”.

In 2020 , the NPCC announced a national race action plan in England and Wales to deal with discrimination.

It is led by Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dr Alison Heydari from the Met .

Just weeks ago , the National Black Police Association withdrew its support from the plan.

The NBPA said policing was not a safe occupation for black and Asian officers.
