Stop and account statistics (if collected)

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you provide me with as much of the following data as you have available:

1. The total number of searches carried out by the force under "stop and account" powers. Please supply this data by month, for as many months as are available.
2. A breakdown of the total number of "stop and account" searches by the subject's self-defined ethnicity. Please supply this data by month as above.

I understand that not all forces record "stop and account" searches, but I would be grateful for any data you do have.

Thank you for your attention, and please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like me to clarify this request.

Yours faithfully,

Anna Powell-Smith

Dear Marsay5482, Elisha (Legal Officer),

Thank you for your response.

I should clarify that I'm writing in relation to "stop and account", not "stop and search": and that I'm requesting the number of stops, not the number of searches, since by definition stop and account does not involve search!

Do you keep data on "stop and account" encounters?

My apologies for the confusion.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Smith
