The data used in the MPS Stop and Search – More Thorough Searches Intimate Parts Exposed (MTIPS) dashboard is available here More Thorough Searches Intimate Parts Exposed (MTIPS) Dashboard | Metropolitan Police, along with the related data definitions. Please note that, Datasets are updated monthly at the beginning of the month. Please note, this data runs until the end of the month prior. Definitions / Counting Rules Stop & Search - When an officer stops a member of the public and searches them. The police can only detain members of the public in order to carry out a search when certain conditions have been met. Search powers fall under different areas of legislation which include searching for: Stolen property; Prohibited articles namely offensive weapons or anything used for burglary, theft, deception or criminal damage; Drugs; Guns. More Thorough Searches - As defined by the College of Policing, this is a search involving the removal of more than JOG (jacket, outer coat, gloves) that exposes intimate parts of the body. (Legislation: PACE - Code A, paragraph 3.7) Stop & Search Positive Outcome - In the context of a Stop & Search, a 'positive outcome' is when the stop results in either a Caution, Community Resolution, Penalty Notice, Postal Charge\Summons, or Arrest. Please note that ‘Sex’ is recorded as ‘Male’, ‘Female’, ‘Unknown’ and ‘Vehicle Only’ (for vehicle-only searches). There is always a possibility that some MTIPS records will have a gender of ‘Unknown’ and ‘Vehicle Only’, usually as a result of a data recording error, however there are very few. For example, between 01/05/2020 – 19/05/2022, of the 9,168 records where an MTIP was recorded, only 8 records came back with the gender field stating ‘Unknown’ or ‘Vehicle Only’. Caveats The MPS fully recognises the distress to the individual which any type of search where intimate parts are exposed can cause, and does not seek to downplay this. However, dip sampling of records has shown that historically some of the records included in this dashboard were wrongly recorded as MTIPs, when they were in fact strip searches conducted in custody after arrest. There will therefore be some double counting, as these will also have been recorded on our custody system and will be therefore be counted in both this dashboard and the separate strip search dashboard. Due to an internal IT deployment, from 27th February these datasets may be temporarily disrupted. Work is ongoing to rebuild these datasets.

The data used in the MPS Crime Dashboard is available here MPS Crime Dashboard | Metropolitan Police, along with the related data definitions. Please note that datasets are updated monthly on the 6th of the month. Data runs until the end of the month prior. ***June 2024: The MPS monthly crime data-sets are now being extracted and compiled from the new CONNECT system within the MPS; these data-sets will have prefix M1045 added to the file name.*** The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has introduced CONNECT, a new crime recording system that consolidates several previous systems into one integrated platform. This change aims to streamline processes and enhance efficiency across the board. At the end of February 2024 the MPS started using CONNECT to record crime and investigation data. There is a difference in how Hate Crime and Domestic Abuse are recorded on CONNECT compared with the legacy crime recording system of CRIS and for this reason, Hate Crime and Domestic Abuse figures pre an post March are not comparable. BCU and Borough data in CONNECT are determined by the geographic location of the incident, rather than the borough managing the case, as was the case with legacy systems. This new approach has been retroactively applied to legacy data to provide consistent and comparable analysis. Total Notifiable Offence (TNO) data follows the Home Office counting rules for recorded crime (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counting-rules-for-recorded-crime ). NB This data-set includes “Other Accepted Crime”, which are non-notifiable crimes and must be excluded if calculating a TNO total. The “Other Crime” offence data follows the Home Office counting rules but have been grouped by specific features (e.g. Knife Crime): please see dashboard for definitions. NB "Hate Crime" totals do NOT include records that are flagged solely as 'domestic abuse'. Measures include Offences, Positive Outcomes, and the Positive Outcome Rate (total number of positive outcomes divided by the total number of offences in a given period). All data is broken down by financial year for each crime type.

The data used in the MPS Custody (Arrests, Disposals, Strip Searches) dashboard is available here Custody Dashboard | Tableau Public, along with the related data definitions. Please note that, this data set runs a month behind with monthly updates. Arrests Date criteria is based on Date of Arrest as first recorded on the Custody Record. A Custody Record is created when a person reaches a Custody Suite. Data contained only relates to Custody Records created in the Metropolitan Police Service Custody Suites. The volumes show a Count of Custody Records and not a count of individual people. A person may have been arrested/ detained more than once in the periods being viewed. The Officer Defined Ethnicity is recorded on the Custody Record and then grouped as shown for reporting purposes. At the request of the Mayors’ Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), the Detainee’s Self Defined Ethnicity is not used in this report. Child is defined as a detainee who is at least 10 years of age at the time of Arrest, and under the age of 18 at the time of Arrest. The “First Arrest Offence” is the first reason for arrest given to the Custody Staff by the Arresting Officer and is usually the most serious matter. These have been grouped into broad terms for the purpose of reporting. It must be understood that the Detainee may be dealt with for more than once offence whist in Detention. The demographic breakdown for the Custody Population may not be directly comparable to that of London. The arrested person may be from anywhere in the UK or abroad. Also, due to Central Cell Allocation, even on a local level, a person arrested may not go to a Custody Suite local to the area they live or the area in which they were arrested. Disposal Date criteria is based on Date of Arrest as first recorded on the Custody Record. The volumes shown are based on a Count of Offences recorded on Custody Records. Each Custody Record may have more than one offence recorded on it. Each Offence is subject to its own Disposal. Each Offence may be given different Disposals at different times. The current (latest) disposal is shown. This may not be the last/ final Disposal. A Custody Record may have more than one similar offence recorded on it. Therefore, one Custody Record may have multiple similar offences each with its own/ different disposal. Disposal Decisions are based on numerous factors. These may include (but not limited to) - Available evidence - Any admissions - Previous offending history - Willingness of victims/ witnesses to substantiate allegations, make statements etc. - Public arrest criteria Strip Search Date criteria is based on Date of Arrest as first recorded on the Custody Record. The volumes shown are based on whether Strip Search was recorded as being undertaken at any point during the Detainee’s Detention. The primary reason for a Strip Search being authorised/ conducted in a Custody Suite is to ensure the safety of the Detainee and the people around them. Factors effecting this consideration may be in relation to (but not limited to): - The nature of the offence(s) arrested for (hidden weapons or drugs) - Warning markers on the PNC (Police National Computer) - Concerns raised by responses to Risk Assessment questions. Strip Search can be undertaken for any offence, but when looking at specific offences, is more likely to be authorised/ conducted for offences relating to drugs or weapons. Detainees can be arrested for more than once offence. The number of Detainee’s Strip Searched can be viewed by the following Offence Groups (and where a detainee has been arrested for one or more offences): - Drug offences - Drugs and other offences - Drugs, Weapons and other offences - Other offences - Weapons and other offences The warning Markers on PNC may refer to the individual secreting items on previous occasions or has indications of self-harm/ attempted suicide. It goes without saying that such warning markers have significant impact on decision making with

NOTE: Legislation has increased the types of information collected regarding stops. These changes took effect on July 1, 2018 and are reflected in the data sets LAPD RIPA (AB 953) STOP Incident Details from 7/1/2018 to Present & LAPD RIPA (AB 953) STOP Person Detail from 7/1/2018 to Present. This data set has been limited to show data from 2010 thru June 30, 2018 which was using the legacy requirements. This dataset reflects incidents of a vehicle or pedestrian being stopped by the Los Angeles Police Department in the City of Los Angeles dating back to 2010. This data is transcribed from original stop reports that are typed on paper and therefore there may be some inaccuracies within the data. This data is as accurate as the data in the database. Please note questions or concerns in the comments. This dataset is part of the Police Data Initiative (https://www.policedatainitiative.org/). For questions, contact the dataset owner or leave a comment.

This collection contains survey data collected at the end of October 2004 from the 49 state law enforcement agencies in the United States that had traffic patrol responsibility. Information was gathered about their policies for recording race and ethnicity data for persons in traffic stops, including the circumstances under which demographic data should be collected for traffic-related stops and whether such information should be stored in an electronically accessible format. The survey was not designed to obtain available agency databases containing traffic stop records.
