The scheme aims to achieve greater transparency and community involvement in the use of stop and search powers, and to support a more intelligence-led approach, leading to better outcomes. In 2015, HMIC assessed the compliance with each feature of the scheme in each of the 43 Home Office-funded forces in England and Wales, as part of our 2015 PEEL Legitimacy inspection. That inspection identified that: only 11 forces were complying with all five features of the scheme; 19 forces were not complying with one or two features of the scheme; and 13 forces were not complying with three or more features. HMIC committed to revisit these 13 forces within six months of the legitimacy inspection. In February 2016, the Home Secretary suspended these 13 forces from the scheme. The findings of this revisit report will inform the Home Secretary’s decision on whether to lift or retain each force’s suspension from the scheme.
