    Study Notes

    Home Detention Curfew and Breach

    • Breaching Home Detention Curfew allows officers to submit a Special Police Report (SPR) to the Procurator Fiscal for an arrest warrant.

    Revocation of Licence Warrant

    • Parole-released prisoners must adhere to 'Conditions of Licence'; breaking these conditions can lead to a Revocation of Licence warrant, permitting police to re-arrest the individual.

    Police Application for Apprehension Warrant

    • When locating a suspect fails despite extensive efforts, an apprehension warrant may be sought.
    • Ensure applying for a warrant is necessary before proceeding.
    • Submit a SPR detailing the case to the Procurator Fiscal, including crime specifics and prior inquiries.
    • The Procurator Fiscal will seek approval from a Sheriff or Justice of the Peace for the warrant.

    Urgent Applications

    • In emergencies, officers may verbally apply for a warrant from a Sheriff or Justice of the Peace.

    Pre-Execution Checks for Warrants

    • Use the ARMREST mnemonic before executing any warrant:
      • Accused's particulars
      • Reason for arrest
      • Means enquiry
      • Review the date of issue
      • Extent of police powers
      • Signature of issuing authority
      • Time and court of sentencing.
    • Incorrect details may invalidate the warrant.

    Enquiry Protocols Before Execution

    • Conduct thorough inquiries such as:
      • PNC/CHS checks
      • Local voters roll examination
      • Criminal Intelligence assessments
      • Consultations with local housing authorities
      • Collaborating with Force Liaison Officers.

    Execution of Warrants

    • Warrants must be executed promptly unless circumstances suggest otherwise, such as illness or bereavement.
    • Officers must inform the apprehended person of the warrant's substance.
    • Physical possession of the warrant is not mandatory but desirable in forced entry situations.
    • Present the original warrant to the arrested person post-arrest.

    Power of Arrest

    • Arrest authority derives from the warrant itself.
    • Specific instructions may accompany the warrant that must be adhered to, such as not detaining overnight or collecting DNA samples.

    Planned Execution of a Warrant

    • Organize adequate officer numbers to control exits.
    • Knock and announce police presence, showing the warrant without risking its destruction.
    • Verify the identity of individuals, caution them, and document responses.
    • Proceed with searching premises or arresting individuals as warranted.

    Notebook Example and Scenario

    • A detailed notebook entry provides a record of actions leading to an arrest under an apprehension warrant.
    • Recognizing wanted individuals during patrol, such as David Smith, allows officers to act swiftly based on existing warrants.
