The super-complaint is about the police’s use of section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and the scrutiny of all stop and search powers.  

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), the College of Policing and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) published a report in response to the super-complaint submitted by the Criminal Justice Alliance. We made recommendations to chief constables, police and crime commissioners or equivalents, the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and the Home Office. The report also included actions for HMICFRS and the College of Policing. The details of these recommendations and actions are listed in our joint report on the Criminal Justice Alliance’s super-complaint - Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 and independent community scrutiny of stop and search.

Information on whether organisations have accepted the recommendations made to them is provided in the letters from the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) and the Home Office.

Please note: We have asked police forces to publish their responses to relevant recommendations made in the CJA super-complaint report on their own websites. You can visit force websites to view forces’ responses.
