Community Trigger
What is it?
The community trigger is a process which allows members of the community to ask for a review, to provide feedback, or seek investigation or reassurance as to the way Stop & Search is used in their community.
The Trigger is designed to ensure we work together to try and resolve any complaints or concerns. The Trigger does not replace the complaints procedure, or your opportunity to complain to the Professional Standards Department or Independent Police Complaints Commission.
