US ‘Supercop’ William J Bratton, who fought gang violence and street crime in New York and Los Angeles, is to advise David Cameron on how best to deal with recent riots in cities including London, Manchester and Birmingham.
Mr Bratton will meet the prime minister next month to share his knowledge and provide tips on how the UK can avoid further disorder.
He believes making police forces more ethnically diverse could be one way of reducing racial tension and said the lessons learned in previous rioting in the US can be applied to the UK.
Now working as a security consultant and chairman of Manhattan-based security firm Kroll, the 63-year-old claimed law enforcers in the UK need to work more with community leaders and civil rights groups to calm racial tensions.
‘Part of the issue going forward is how to make policing more attractive to a changing population,’ he said, pointing to the success of similar initiatives in New York and LA.
Earlier this month, Mr Bratton took part in a panel at the second annual National Sports Safety and Security Conference and Exhibition, New Orleans, where fan violence was high on the agenda.
