REWIND: Sussex Police campaign to simplify ‘Stop & Search’

Sussex Police have launched a new campaign in an attempt to explain ‘stop and search’ powers.

‘Rewind’ is hoping to simplify the often complex legislation.

Remember under the stop and search legislation, everyone has rights.

Every person who is stopped and searched is entitled to a receipt.

When stopped, the officer will give their name and the police station they work from.

If the person who is stopped has a problem understanding what is being explained by an officer, they have the right to ask for an interpreter or for an appropriate adult.

Normally the officer doing the search will be the same gender as the person being searched.

During a stop and search, the officer may ask the person who is stopped to remove their jacket or other outer clothes.

Although the original campaign was the concept of the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Youth Commission to help any younger members of the community to understand procedure,  Sussex Police have taken that idea and extended it to incorporate the whole community.

More information can be found on the Sussex Police website.
