Police chiefs “will not rush” to ban trans officers from strip-searching women despite the Supreme Court ruling that sex is biological.
Forces have been accused of a “stunning lack of urgency” after saying they would not immediately respond to the ruling. […]
On Saturday, an NPCC spokesman told The Telegraph that, in the absence of national guidance, “forces should make decisions [about strip-searches by trans officers] on a case-by-case basis”.
The Telegraph understands that, in practice, this means opposite-sex strip-searches are still allowed in territorial forces across the UK. […]
A female officer from Northumbria Police described the NPCC position as “keep calm and carry on – we hate this ruling and are looking at options to circumvent it.”
