Tower Hamlets Stop and Search Community Monitoring Group (CMG)

The Tower Hamlets Stop and Search Community Monitoring Group (CMG) is recruiting volunteers to help it hold the Metropolitan Police to account and scrutiny over the properly targeted and lawful use of stop and search and other police powers.

The Tower Hamlets CMG is one of dozens of groups across the capital dedicated to ensuring greater police oversight. It is independent of both the Met and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and plays a vital role in delivering accountability on behalf of people in Tower Hamlets.

Its chairs are currently looking for new volunteers, particularly those with lived experience of policing, people from marginalised backgrounds, and/or people with expertise in police law and data analysis. Any applicants must be aged 16 or over and cannot be holders of elected office or current Met or MOPAC staff. The CMG commits to putting measures in place to ensure any volunteers feel supported and able to speak to officers and hold them to account.
