# The Bail (Electronic Monitoring of Requirements) (Responsible Officer) Order 2008, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies the persons responsible (“responsible officer”) for the electronic monitoring of a person’s compliance with a requirement imposed as a condition of bail.
Article 2 specifies the responsible officer according to the police area to which the bail condition relates.
Article 3 applies where an electronic monitoring requirement is imposed in respect of more than one bail condition which relates to different police areas (for example, a curfew requirement and an exclusion requirement) and the application of article 2 results in there being more than one responsible officer. Article 3(2) provides that any curfew requirement takes precedence in determining the responsible officer. Article 3(3) provides that where there is no curfew requirement, the court must choose one of the police areas to which the requirements relate and the choice of police area will determine the appropriate responsible officer.
Article 4 revokes the Bail (Electronic Monitoring of Requirements) (Responsible Officer) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/844).
