Stop and Search »
A Stop and Search is when a police officer stops you and searches you, your clothes or anything you are carrying. Stop and Search can help the police detect crime and make our communities safer. If you are stopped and searched by a police officer, you should be treated fairly and with respect. Know your rights...
