A report by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) that looked into the failings by West Midlands Police concluded that antisemitism played no part in the decision-making, but Green acknowledged that damage had been done.
In documents released ahead of the meeting, the force admitted it “did not engage early enough with the local Jewish community”.
Green told the meeting that he met the local Jewish community on Tuesday as part of West Midlands Police’s Operation Strive, which includes the promise to investigate every report of antisemitic hate crime.
He said he had apologised for their failures around the match and that there was some positive feedback after the meeting.
Michael Rowe, chairman of the Young National Jewish Assembly said he was pleased that Green attended.
“While this was a positive first step, we now need to see concrete action from West Midlands Police to ensure that the Jewish community is not sidelined in the future and fans are not banned just because they’re Jewish,” he said.
“The chief constable’s decision to act on my suggestion of providing antisemitism training to all offers will go a long way to restoring trust with our community.”
