Deputy Chief Constable Alan Green of Greater Manchester
  Police said there would be a full and thorough criminal
  investigation into allegations made in last night's
  programme.

  He said the programme, which he had seen for the first time
  when it was broadcast on BBC1 last night, had made him
  "ashamed to be part of the British police service" .

  But he admitted that it may have been necessary for a
  journalist to go under cover to find evidence of such
  allegedly racist behaviour.

  Assistant Chief Constable Alan Green of Greater
  Manchester Police, said "Racism has no place in Greater
  Manchester Police and we are totally committed to
  tackling it both inside and outside the force. Our 
  investigation into the issues, which is being 
  independently supervised, will be thorough."

  His counterpart in Cheshire, David Green, said the racist
  conduct shown in the programme was "abhorrent".

  He added: "Cheshire Constabulary acknowledge that
  racism has not been eradicated in the police service"
