Stop and Search charter survey

The survey asks questions to Londoners about what they think about stop and search practises to help inform a charter between local communities and the Met.

As part of the New Met for London plan, the Met is resetting its relationship with London’s communities. When done right, stop and search is an effective tool and officers take 4,000 dangerous weapons off our streets every year as a result of this tactic – saving lives.

When done poorly, it can have a detrimental impact on the relationship between the police and local communities – especially those who are disproportionally affected by stop and search. 

The 32-question survey is hosted online and focuses on the public’s perception of stop and search, personal experiences of the tactic, training for officers, and what could be done better.  

It takes approximately 20 minutes and results will have a lasting impact on how the Met carries out the tactic to better police London.
