Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation
Further, I would also recommend that strong advice be given, both in the manual and in any training course which officers are required to undergo, that requests for the removal of body parts only be made after consideration on a case by case basis, taking into account all other available means of identification.
