The Alliance of Police Accountability (APA) is a newly established UK network consisting of influential Black individuals and national Black organisations.

The APA, launched on the 19th July 2023, aims to transform policing and is promoting a new public health approach to addressing serious violence, and empowering Black communities across England and Wales.

The APA brings together Black community institutions, professional networks, and influential individuals to form a powerful consortium represented by the APA Steering Group. The APA is financially supported by the Lankelly Chase Foundation for evidence-gathering and vision setting.

The APA’s Steering Group, led by Chair Lee Jasper, provides guidance for its work. Action for Race Equality is the secretariat for the group. Leroy Logan is a member of the Steering Group as a strategic advisor.

The APA is actively engaged in consultative processes with the Metropolitan Police Service, the Mayor’s Office, the College of Policing, and the National Police Chiefs Council.

Additionally, the APA collaborates closely with the Independent Scrutiny and Oversight Board for the NPCC’s National Race Action Plan, chaired by Abimbola Johnson.

Internationally, the APA is working with partners in the US to contribute to global discussions on systemic racism, policing, and law enforcement, supporting the implementation of recommendations outlined in the United Nations Report on the global African diaspora in 2021.
