Police stop and search under scrutiny in Luton meeting

Members will also be looking into how to prevent child criminal exploitation which is a national issue but also impacts on the Luton area.

The Crime and Disorder Scrutiny Committee meets annually to review or scrutinise decisions made, or other action taken, in connection with the discharge by the responsible authorities of their crime and disorder functions. The meeting will include reports from Bedfordshire Police.

Cllr Anna Pedersen, chair of the Scrutiny Crime and Disorder Committee said: “We have a vision to make Luton a child friendly town but everyone has a role to play in it by working together, engaging with local people and the police to achieve the vision.”

The meeting will be held on Thursday 9 March at 6pm, at the Luton Town Hall, Council Chamber.
