Request
I would like to request data relating to your officers stop and search reasonable grounds performance from 2020 up until the present date. I would appreciate it if this could be expressed as a percentage i.e. 85% pass and the total number of searches this percentage covers. I would also appreciate it if this percentage pass/fail rate could also be expressed in the following ways: Overall Performance since 2020, separated by area command, separated by ethnicity and lastly the different figures separated by what powers of search were used i.e. S23 Misuse of drugs reasonable grounds pass rate 70% and S1 PACE 90%.
Can I also request some information into how each stop and search is reviewed and the process of doing that.
