These Regulations amend the Schedule to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the principal Regulations”).

By virtue of section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, relevant offenders must fulfil their notification requirements under that Act by attending any police station in their local police area which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations. The principal Regulations prescribed those police stations. These Regulations amend the principal regulations by removing the Divisional Police Headquarters located in Forfar from the list of prescribed police stations in the Tayside police area.
