Stop and Search/Use of Force Scrutiny Panel

Overview

The Stop and Search/Use of Force Scrutiny Panel is the second layer of scrutiny undertaken by the OPFCC at strategic level in terms of Stop and Search and Use of Force. This panel is chaired by an independent Chair who plays a key role in supporting the Police and Crime Commissioner to build public trust and confidence in the Stop and Search/Use of Force procedures by North Yorkshire Police, and to hold them to account for their performance.

The Stop and Search Scrutiny Panel is not a decision-making body in terms of case outcomes or policy and procedure, but can make recommendations for consideration on future policy, procedure and practice.
