THE POLICE SERVICE (PART II) 

3.5. TEXTS

3.5.1. Read the texts “Common Services”, “Powers of Arrest”, “Detention, Treatment and Questioning”.

Common Services

There are a number of common services provided by central government and by arrangements between forces. In England and Wales the most important of these cover the forensic science, telecommunications and central and provincial criminal records available to all forces. In Scotland the main common services cover centralized police training, the Scottish Crime Squad and the Scottish Criminal Record Office. Certain special services such as liaison with the international Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) are provided for other British forces by the Metropolitan Police. The National Drugs Intelligence Unit assists police forces and the Customs service throughout Britain. The services of the Fraud Squad, run jointly by the Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police to investigate company frauds, are available in England and Wales.

In all areas of police work the use of scientific aids is widespread. A national police computer helps to rationalize records and speed up the dissemination of information.


 

Powers of Arrest

In England and Wales arrest may be made with or without a warrant issued by the magistrate. The police may arrest a person without a warrant under the arrest scheme established by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, which provides a general conditional power to arrest a person reasonably suspected of any offence. However, a person can only be arrested under the scheme if it is necessary in order to ensure that he (or she) can be brought before a court (for example, because of failure to give a satisfactory address for service of a summons or in order to prevent injury to persons or property). Furthermore, the Act categories certain offences as ‘arrestable’ or ‘serious arrestable’ and provides a full power of arrest without a warrant in respect of them for the protection of the public.

 

Detention, Treatment and questioning

A code of practice on detention, treatment and questioning is one of four codes, which the Home Secretary has issued under the 1984 Act. Failure to comply with the provision of these codes can render a police officer liable to disciplinary proceedings.

An arrested person has a statutory right to consult a solicitor and to ask the police to notify a named person likely to take an interest in his or her welfare about the arrest. Where a person has been arrested in connection with a serious arrestable offence, but has not yet been charged, the police may delay for up to 36 hours the exercise of these rights in the interest of the investigation if certain criteria are met. The police must caution a person whom there are grounds to suspect of an offence before any questions are put for the purpose of obtaining evidence. Questions relating to an offence may normally not be put to a person after he or she has been charged with that offence or informed that he or she may be prosecuted for it.

The detention scheme in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act provides for a person to be detained only if, and for as long as, necessary for a purpose specified by law up to a maximum of 96 hours before charge. A person can only be detained beyond 36 hours if a warrant is obtained from a magistrates’ court.

Reviews must be made of a person’s detention (whether before or after charge) at regular intervals – six hours after initial detention and thereafter every nine hours as a maximum – to check whether the criteria for detention are still satisfied. If they are not, the person must be released immediately.
