(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 provides that a sex offender who is subject to the notification requirements in Part 2 of that Act fulfils their requirements by attending any police station which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations.
These Regulations prescribe a list of police stations in Scotland for this purpose. These Regulations remove Bucksburn Police Station, Lochmaddy Police Station, Dornoch Police Station and Girvan Police Station from the list of prescribed police stations, and add Benbecula Police Station, Tain Police Station and Divisional HQ as prescribed police stations. Changes have also been made to the names and addresses of existing prescribed police stations.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 and amending instruments are revoked.
