SEARCH GUIDELINE
The primary purpose of stop and search powers is to enable our officers to allay or confirm suspicions about individuals without exercising their power of arrest.
Where an officer suspects a person is, has been or is about to be involved in unlawful activity, or where they are seeking information about a person’s whereabouts and intentions, they may first stop the person and ask some questions so that the person has an opportunity to account for themselves. The person is free to leave at this stage and not obliged to answer the questions.
If the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a person or vehicle is carrying an unlawful item, they may decide to carry out a stop and search. This means that the person can be detained for the purpose of the search. This is not an arrest, but the person is not free to leave until the search is either completed or not proceeded with, and the officer is empowered to use reasonable force if necessary to effect the search.
