Closed petition Investigate the high number of dead Black people found in Thames

Closed on

I urge the Government to launch a comprehensive and transparent investigation into why too high a number of Black people are found deceased in the Thames, including reviewing policing and community safety measures.

We believe that the high number of deceased Black individuals in the Thames highlights a critical social and safety issue that demands immediate attention. We think this trend not only raises concerns about racial disparities but also about the effectiveness of current safety and policing strategies. A thorough investigation could help identify the root causes and implement necessary changes to ensure the safety and dignity of all community members, fostering trust and security.
