Concerns have been raised about police officers鈥� use of stop and search after an investigation, looking at 100 stop and search records across 43 police forces in England and Wales, found that 15% did not meet the legal requirement.

Jermaine Lawlor, a youth worker in East London and former gang member, said he has been stopped 鈥渕any times鈥� and often it hasn鈥檛 been conducted 鈥渋n the right way,鈥� adding a stop and search should be 鈥渆xplained clearly and logged appropriately鈥�.

Chief Constable Sara Thornton is the National Police Chiefs' Council Chair, she says "The number of stop and search records which do not include reasonable grounds for suspicion has dropped from 27 per cent in 2013 to 15 per cent in 2015, which is evidence of progress.

However, I am disappointed that some forces are not complying fully with the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. We will make sure this is addressed''.
