This Order brings into force on 7th March 2011 section 1 of the Crime and Security Act 2010. Section 1 amends section 3 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c.60). The amendment reduces the amount of information that must be recorded following a stop and search encounter.

On the same date, this Order brings into force sections 2 to 7 of the Act. These provisions amend Part 5 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (questioning and treatment of persons by police).

Section 2 confers enhanced powers to take fingerprints and DNA samples. Section 3 creates similar powers in relation to qualifying offences committed outside England and Wales. Section 4 specifies the information that must be given on the taking of the material. Section 5 enables the police to use these fingerprints or samples to conduct speculative searches. Section 6 (which is commenced in part only) confers a power to require attendance at a police station for the purpose of taking fingerprints or samples. Section 7 sets out which offences fall within the definition of “qualifying offence.”
