4/2021/P - 6 May 2021 Item 7 – Integrity and Code of Ethics Update

The Chair requested that officers include the updated Integrity Standard Board (ISB) Dashboard for information at the next meeting of the Committee. This will reflect the data presented to the next meeting of the ISB on 9th June.

5/2021/P - 8 September 2021 Item 5 – Equality and Inclusion Update

Members requested that the Attraction Strategy be circulated to Members of the Committee when signed off by officers.

IN PROGRESS - The Attraction Plan is being updated currently and will be available in early 2022. It will be circulated to Members when it is signed off.

6/2021/P -  8 September 2021 Item 6 – Stop and Search Update Q1 2021/22

Officers undertook to include an update on Use of Force on children in the next Stop and Search update report to the next meeting of the Committee in November.

COMPLETED - this is included in the Q2 update on the agenda

7/2021/P - 8 September 2021 Item 6 – Stop and Search Update Q1 2021/22

Officers confirmed that, whilst information sharing existed with other Forces on intelligence, there was no data shared on this specific area (frequency of stop and searches for individuals). It was also pointed out that negative outcomes from stop and searches meant that it could well be viewed as disproportionate to then record that person’s personal information, given they had done nothing wrong.

Ultimately, the significant determining factors and challenges would be that all Forces would have to be willing to work together on this, and that the scale of the data resources required for a shared database would need to be met nationally. This was currently not something that was being explored at a national level.

Officers stated that as CoLP was part of the national working group on Stop and Search (the lead being Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi) they would, however, pose the question about shared information to this group and include a response in the Q2 Report.

COMPLETED - an update on this is included in the Q2 update on the agenda
