New figures show that black people in Greater Manchester are still almost twice as likely to be stopped and searched
Black people are still almost twice as likely to be stopped and searched by police in Greater Manchester - as local leaders condemned the use of the 'humiliating' policing tool.
However, a panel set up by mayor Andy Burnham after George Floyd was killed by police in the US three years ago has said that the use of stop and search is 'often under-recorded'.Greater Manchester's Race Equality Panel, which has previously described GMP as 'institutionally racist', has criticised the force for its disproportionate use of these powers.
"The Race Panel looks forward to the day when it’s no longer expected to celebrate datasets, but instead sees no more racist policing, rather increased investment in community infrastructure which would tackle the root causes of inequality, harm and violence while supporting and building stronger communities to thrive."
