A sergeant and three constables have been served misconduct notices by the police watchdog over the teenager's arrest. Her mother complained after reports about Child Q, another teenager who was strip-searched by police at an east London school.
The IOPC launched an investigation after the complaint was received in May 2022.Child Q case not 'isolated', children's commissioner saidIn a statement seen by Sky News, the watchdog said of the incident:"We can confirm that four Metropolitan Police Service officers have been served misconduct notices as part of our ongoing investigation.
"A police sergeant and three police constables have been served notices in relation to the arrest and detention of the child, who was strip searched by MPS officers."The serving of misconduct notices does not necessarily mean disciplinary proceedings will follow. "Due to the sensitivities surrounding this matter, we cannot provide any further information at this time."
Scotland Yard told Sky News the officers remain in post and have not been placed on restricted duties or suspended. A spokesperson for the force said:"All of the officers were served with notices at misconduct, rather than gross misconduct.
