["The Code of Practice on the Exercise by Constables of Powers of Stop"]
["and Search of the Person in Scotland"]
[]
["The Code came into effect on 11 May 2017. The Code governs all situations in which constables stop and search "]
["a person without first making an arrest, unless the search is expressly excluded, either under the Code, by "]
["statute, or by virtue of the search being subject to a separate statutory Code or guidance as to its exercise. The "]
["Code also sets out the requirements to be followed by the Police for recording information in relation to all stop"]
["and search activity covered by the Code."]
[]
["The Code requires as soon as practicable after the end of each reporting year (ending 31 March), the Chief "]
["Constable of a relevant police service must publish, information on how many times during the reporting year a "]
["stop and search was carried out in Scotland by constables of that service. In addition, so far as practicable, the "]
["information is to disclose:"]
[]
["(a) the number of stops and searches carried out under each statutory power;"]
["(b) how many persons were searched on two or more occasions"]
["(c) the age and gender, and the ethnic and national origin, of the persons searched"]
["(d) the proportion of searches that resulted in:"]
["(i) something being recovered by a constable, including information as to the number of cases in which the item "]
["recovered was of the type suspected by the constable at the outset of the search"]
["(ii) a case being reported to the Procurator Fiscal"]
["(e) the number of authorisations issued under section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994"]
["(f) the number of complaints made to a relevant police service about the carrying out of searches "]
["(or the manner in which they were carried out) in Scotland by constables of that service."]
["(g) the number of receipts issued"]
[]
["The National Stop and Search Database was upgraded to coincide with the introduction of the Code. "]
["These changes included:"]
["(a) Cessation of the recording of consensual search"]
["(b) A new category to include searches of a person carried out in accordance with a search warrant issued by a court in Scotland"]
["(c) Addition of a new power under Section 66 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016, removal of a person"]
["(d) A new search type ‘Protection of Life’ recorded for when an officer conducts a search (in accordance with section 3.4 of "]
["the Code), under the overarching principles of Section 20 or 32 of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012, as part of"]
["taking all steps necessary to protect life"]
["(e) A new search type ‘Other’ recorded for when an officer believes it is necessary to conduct a search that is not "]
["for the protection of life and where no specific statutory power exists and considers their actions to be justified, "]
["the officer should enter Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act as the ‘Power of Search used’"]
["(f) Officer’s estimate of the age group of the person searched (under the age of 18 or 18 years of age and over) if not provided"]
[]
["The Code is available at police stations and on the stop and search page of the Police Scotland website (www.scotland.police.uk)."]

["Commentary Notes on Management Information"]
[]
["Force Level Highlights"]
["1. All statistics are provisional and should be treated as management information. All data have been extracted "]
["from Police Scotland internal systems and are correct as of 2nd October 2022."]
[]
["2. This report shows the data of the enhanced database 1st April 2022 – 30th September 2022."]
[]
["3. This data shows that Police Scotland is delivering the improvements set out in the Stop and Search "]
["Improvement Plan and is committed to sustaining and building on those improvements and maintaining "]
["community confidence."]
[]
["4. An enhanced database was rolled out across Scotland on 1st June 2015 which included additional validations "]
["designed to improve the quality of the data by preventing inaccurate data capture through input error. Further "]
["enhancements have followed, significantly allowing more detail to be recorded since the introduction of the Code "]
["of Practice. Following the review of the data captured on the National Stop and Search Database for the period "]
["specified, it is evident that the introduction of these validation checks has made a significant impact on the level "]
["of data input errors."]
[]
["5. In relation to outcomes the National Stop Search Unit (NSSU) do not validate or compare search outcomes "]
["from the National Stop Search Database with other Police systems."]
[]
["Ongoing Quality Assurance"]
["As part of Police Scotland's duty under data protection and our quality assurance process, records held on the "]
["database may be reviewed and may be subject to amendment. This involves liaising with the officer(s) involved "]
["to confirm any aspect of the recorded data which is unclear.  Any adjustment in respect of these records will be "]
["reflected in future stop and search publications.  "]
[]
[]
["Complaints"]
["For the period 1st April 2022 - 30th September 2022 a total of 46 complaints have been received by Police Scotland\n"]
[" in relation to the use of stop and search."]
[]
["Persons Searched on Two or More Occasions"]
["Between 1st April 2022 - 30th September 2022, 1,285 persons have been searched on two or more occasions."]
["As the National Stop and Search Database is not nominal-centric this figure can be affected by a number of "]
["variables such as persons providing alias names or variations in spellings."]
[]
["Comparisons with Historical Data"]
["Due to changes in data recording to bring the National Stop and Search Database in line with the Code of Practice,"]
["direct comparisons with historical data would provide invalid or misleading conclusions."]

["Definition of a Stop and Search"]
[]
[]
[]
["Stop and Search"]
["A stop and search is one conducted by a police officer in the course of their duties where a person who is not in police"]
["custody is searched using a specific statutory provision or in accordance with a search warrant issued by a court in "]
["Scotland."]
[]
["Positive Stop and Search"]
["A positive stop and search is when an item is recovered where possession of same implies criminality on the part "]
["of the person being searched or any other or where an item has been recovered which is potentially harmful."]
[]
["N.B. When a stop and search under a statutory provision has taken place and alcohol, tobacco or NPS is recovered, "]
["depending on the circumstances this should be recorded as a positive stop and search on the Stop and Search Database."]
[]
["Recordable Stop and Search (must be recorded on the National Stop and Search Database)"]
["A recordable stop and search is any stop and search, with the exception of condition of entry searches (Section 67 Criminal "]
["Justice (Scotland) Act 2016) or Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (which is governed by different Codes of Practice)."]
