answer text

The Home Office does not set stop and search targetsStop and search can only be carried out when legal thresholds have been met, and as such setting central targets for the number of searches would not be appropriate.We are not aware of targets being set by individual forces. Stop and search can be an important tool in fighting violence, with searches last year resulting in nearly 8,000 arrests for weapons and firearms offences.
