Two Tasmania Police officers last week strip searched a 12-year-old Hobart girl after obtaining a warrant to search a Rokeby house for drugs.
Police confirmed the girl was twice strip searched on Wednesday in front of her mother by two attending female police officers.
The state government says it won't review police powers to search minors as young as 10 in response to calls from the Liberal Party, the public and civil rights lobbyists.
However, the Tasmanian Greens revealed today they would request in writing that Commissioner for Children Aileen Ashford investigate the incident.
More in The Examiner tomorrow.
