The Local Scrutiny Policing panel are working in partnership with the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) to form a new local policing scrutiny panel which will be made up of volunteers from local communities who will work together with MOPAC to hold the police to account for their use of stop and search, handcuffing, use of tasers and intimate searches. The panel will review police data, decisions and practice to make sure police action and the use of police powers in communities is fair to all.
