"Police are reviewing stop and search policies amid fears they are damaging community relations, a senior officer has confirmed. Commander Richard Gargini said the Association of Chief Police Officers wanted searches to be led more by intelligence than "appearance". He said he was working with Metropolitan Police to develop a more sensitive approach. Other forces in England and Wales were also rethinking tactics, he added."
