Sarah Lee is encouraged that police are targeting race relations

The Secret Policeman programme led to nine officers resigning, six from Greater Manchester Police, two from North Wales and one from Cheshire.

Sarah Lee, 25, who has been racially abused by customers in her family's Chinese takeaway, said: "We've had problems with kids, they sat round our shop and started throwing stones and traffic cones, we just got so mad so I called the police," she said.

Officers in Wrexham were able to deal with the gang of youths and someone was arrested.

I'm hoping that they're going to see that officers aren't racist Acting Sergeant Chris Williams

Sarah, from the Smithfield area of Wrexham, said she had been verbally abused.

"Some names are quite nasty, sometimes you go home and think 'Does it have to be like that?' "

"We do get some abuse... in school you do get people calling you names and you do get used to it in a way," she added.

Acting Sergeant Chris Williams came up with the idea because he was "embarrassed and concerned" by last year's BBC findings.

Victims

"I was embarrassed about the programme and as a result I came up with this pilot initiative," he said.

"I was on duty at the time that the programme was launched and people were concerned and the reaction from the officers was that they'd never seen anything like this before."

Mr Williams was dealing with a racist incident in Wrexham when the programme was aired and he said he was worried about the victims' perception of North Wales Police.

"I'm hoping that they're going to see that officers aren't racist and this is hopefully a one off," he said.

Miss Lee, who moved to Wrexham from Manchester three years ago, said she was surprised that there were racists in the police.
