Females stopped and searched from January 2017 to September 2022

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.027008

I note you seek access to the following information:

NEW REQUEST;
Thanks for your email, please resubmit this FOI excluding g) and h) as suggested.

REQUEST;
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information:

1. For the period 01/01/2017 to now please could you provide me with the number of females stopped and searched by the Met? Please break this down by month.

2. Please further break this data down by:
a) age of those stopped and searched (age categories e.g. 20-24 are fine)
b) ethnicity of those stopped and searched
c) reasons for the search
d) outcomes of the search
e) number of more thorough searches
f) number of more thorough searches where intimate parts were exposed

3. Please could you advise what other categories of data the Met collects and holds in electronic, searchable format relating to stop and search?

As I would like to cross-compare the data, it probably is easiest for you to provide me with 2a-f for each person stopped unless you can think of another way to present the data so that categories a-f can be compared with each other (e.g. so I can see the age and ethnicity of females who experienced police use of force or the number of females who experienced a more thorough search that resulted in a positive outcome etc).

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
