Nottinghamshire's Police & Crime Commissioner, Paddy Tipping, has admitted that his attempts to increase diversity in the force haven't been as successful as he'd hoped in his first year in office. When the former Labour MP was voted in, he vowed to make Nottinghamshire Police more representative of the communities it serves.

In this extract, PCC Tipping joins Reya El-Salahi in the studio.
