Department: Metropolitan Police AuthorityPublished: 2011-09-27 13:04:3748/1126 Setember 2011 Kit Malthouse, Chair of the MPA, confirmed that the Met police will continue to record ‘stop and account’ following extensive community consultation by the MPA and Met: “The MPA has always recognised the sensitivities around police ‘stops’ in London, so when on 7 March 2011 the Home Office changed the requirements for how police record this process the MPA wanted to gather the views of Londoners about this, especially those of young people. “Earlier this year the MPA led extensive community consultation, together with the Met, on whether ´stop and account´ should continue to be recorded by Met officers. Those we spoke to, many of whom were young people, robustly supported recording ‘stop and account’ to make sure the process was both transparent and accountable. It also serves as a good check and balance for officers who make stops on a daily basis as they go about their duties. “Good community engagement has always been a priority for the MPA and this is a great example of community consultation making a real difference to how London is policed, and the Met will continue to record ‘stop and account’.“ Notes to Editors 1.
