“Causes Public Outrage With Their Communities” Former Policeman On Increasing Stop And Search

Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by former police officer Norman Brennan to discuss the Tories call for more stop and searches on the street.

It comes after policing minister Chris Philp urged forces to increase the use of stop and searches as part of a “robust approach” to tackle knife crime.

Writing for the Daily Telegraph, Mr Philp described stop and search as a “vital tool” which is “not used nearly often enough”.

The use of stop and search was reduced after then home secretary Theresa May curbed powers amid fears black people were disproportionately targeted, restrictions which have been eased.

Norman says: “The Met Police are not going to be carrying out stop and searches like Chris Philp wants, there are dozens awaiting discipline hearings because they have done exactly what he is asking.”
