These Regulations, which come into force on 19 November 2012, amend the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) Regulations 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”).

The NPIA is being phased out and the Home Office has now taken over the function of running the Police National Computer (“PNC”). It is the names database of convictions, cautions, warnings and reprimands which is held on the PNC which is prescribed as “central records” for the purposes of section 113A(6) of the Police Act 1997.
1997 c. 50. Section 113A was inserted by section 163(2) of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (c. 15). There are amendments but none relevant to these Regulations.
