Stop & Search Ellesmere Port

  • Reference Number: 2217
  • Date released: 03 December 2009

Request

I am after some statistics with regards to stop and search in the Ellesmere Port area, primarily concerning (1) what groups are being targeted, if any, (2) the amount that result in an arrest, and (3) whether any particular ethnicity are more likely to be stopped according to the statistics.

Could you direct me to the appropriate place to acquire this information or alternatively please e-mail it directly to me.

On the 1st December myself and two other students are conducting a presentation regarding police powers of stop and search, if it would be possible to get the statistics prior to that date it would be a great help.

Response

In accordance with section 1 (1) (b) of the Act our response is provided below;

  1. None
  2. 95 Arrests
  3. Please see the attached statistics which will speak for themselves.
