EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


Section 63B of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 gives police officers a new power to undertake tests for the presence of specified Class A drugs in relation to certain persons in police detention. Section 66(2) of the 1984 Act provides that codes in connection with those powers must be in place before the powers are exercised.

The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Codes of Practice) (Modifications to Code C and Code D) (Certain Police Areas) Order 2002 put such code provisions in place in respect of the police areas listed in that Order. In those areas the drug testing provisions are being piloted.

This Order amends the existing Order by adding four further police areas to the list of those areas in which the modified codes apply.
