D&C Police Data

A significant area of focus highlighted in the feedback was the need for current data from Devon and Cornwall Police. Last week, the latest national stop and search (S&S) figures by ethnicity and area were released, accessible via the GOV.UK Ethnicity Facts and Figures portal.

These figures, covering April 2022 to March 2023, reveal that the S&S rate for black individuals in Devon and Cornwall is 10.8 per 1,000, compared to 2.6 per 1,000 for white individuals. This discrepancy results in a disproportionality rate of approximately 4.15%.

The table outlines Devon and Cornwall Police S&S disparity data from 2010 to 2023, highlighting the peak disproportionality in 2019-2020 at 12.2%, the year the DCCS Panel was formed.
