Summary of request
I am writing in connection to the FOI Act 2000.
I asked the below questions to the MET police. They responded to all of them apart from Q1)II (about ethnicity) and Q1c (about mandatory training) as they said MOPAC are likely to know. Please could you answer these two questions (Q1)II and Q1c.
“Q1) Does your police force, as of the current date, have an Independent Stop and Search Scrutiny Panel?
1a) If yes: How often do they meet?
I) What date (DD/MM/YYYY) was the panel first operational?
II) How many of the people currently on the panel are from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic
background? (could you also tell me the total number of people on the panel as of the
current date and how many members identified as black).
1b) If your force does have such a panel, are panel members made to review a sample of stop and search records and related body-worn video footage at meetings? This can be a
simple Yes or No answer.
1c) If your force does have such a panel, what sort of mandatory training do panel members
receive in order to perform their role?
Q2) Does your force provide body-won video cameras to your officers? If so, to which ones,
and is its use mandatory for specific activities (for example, but not limited to: during stop
and searches- please specify)?
