Get involved in improving stop and search

We do not underestimate the impact stop and search has on communities and individuals. We know that to maintain public confidence in its use, the power must be used in a correct and effective manner.

Community engagement

It's important to understand the impact stop and search has on communities and individuals. We do this through community engagement, scrutiny and community accountability.

Measuring the effect of stop and search

We publish stop and search data regularly so that we can be transparent about how stop and search is used, what is monitored and what is recorded. View our stop and search data.

How to get involved

Community Observer Scheme

The community observer scheme gives members of the public the chance to join us on patrol to gain an insight into how our officers consider and apply their use of stop and search powers. 

The involvement and empowerment of our communities is essential to the success of policing in Hampshire, and an important part is the local monitoring of stop and search activity.
