The Home office is undertaking a statutory consultation on the revision of PACE codes C, E, F and H, which cover detention and interviewing, audio recording, visual recording and terrorism.  The consultation closes on 6 December 2017.

THIS IS IMPORTANT for ALL INVESTIGATORS, as it covers recording by devices other than ‘normal’ interview recorders and explicit rights for suspects attending voluntary interviews.

There are draft versions of codes C, E, F and H to view which cover :

• code C – the detention, treatment and questioning of persons detained under PACE
• code E – the audio recording of interviews with suspects
• code F – the visual recording of interviews with suspects
• code H – persons detained under the terrorism provisions

Responses must be received no later than Wednesday 6 December 2017.  If you’re involved in investigations, don’t miss your chance to comment!
