“SCHEDULE 1ACAUTIONS
1. You do not have to say anything, but I must caution you that if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in any subsequent disciplinary proceedings, it may harm your defence. You may, if you so desire, make a written or oral statement to the investigating officer or the chief constable or the Police Authority as appropriate. Anything you mention when questioned or any written or oral statement you make may be given in evidence at such disciplinary proceedings.
2. On [date] at [time] at [place] there was:
(a)on your person
(b)in or on your clothing/footwear
(c)in your possession
(d)in the place where you were at that time,
a [state the object/substance/mark].
I believe this [state the object/substance/mark] may be due to your involvement in the disciplinary offence of [state the disciplinary offence].
You do not have to say anything about [object/substance/mark], but I must caution you that if you fail or refuse to account for [object/substance/mark] then your failure or refusal may be treated in any subsequent disciplinary proceedings as supporting any relevant evidence against you. If you do say anything it may be given in evidence at such disciplinary proceedings.
I now ask you to account for [state the object/substance/mark]. Have you anything you wish to say?
3. You were found on [day and date] at [place] at [time] which is at or about the time the disciplinary offence of [state the disciplinary offence] is alleged to have been committed.
I believe your presence at [place] at that time may be due to your involvement in this disciplinary offence.
You do not have to say anything about your presence at [place], on [day and date] at [time] but I must caution you that if you fail or refuse to account for your presence at [place] then your failure or refusal may be treated in any subsequent disciplinary proceedings as supporting any relevant evidence against you. If you do say anything it may be given in evidence at such disciplinary proceedings.
I now ask you to account for your presence on [day and date] at [place] at or about [time]. Have you anything you wish to say?”
