The unit is responsible for formulating policy, writing procedures and orders and institutionalizing work processes with the stated goal of the police to bring about diversity in the ranks of the police in a way that reflects Israeli society.
Within the unit, a professional section is responsible for assimilating the multicultural consciousness in the ranks of the police, and the change in the wording of the questionnaires is the result of his work.
As part of its activities, the section initiates moves to promote equal opportunities within the organization.
Moreover, the activity of the entire unit focuses on identifying barriers that make it difficult to promote special populations within the police.
Among other things, it promotes intra-organizational and extra-organizational advocacy in the field of combating gender or cultural inequality.
Thus, among the tasks defined for the unit's personnel, it is possible to initiate actions so that they will enable the police to meet recruitment targets from special populations.
