  • Metropolitan Police use of containment/'kettling'

    • Reference: 2015/0492
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 23 February 2015
    Thank you for your answer to my questions 2015/0059 and 2015/0060. If the use of containment or 'kettling' is only recorded in the event Command Teams logs and in the Public Order Evidence and Action Books of the officers who are deployed in such a tactic, how do senior officers and MOPAC have oversight that the tactic is being used in a proportionate way and is used only as a last resort?
