Explanatory note

This Order brings into force sections 24 to 30 of the Crime and Security Act 2010 on 30th June 2011 for 12 months for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of the provisions by way of regional pilots.
Those sections will only come into force for the purposes of three regional pilots which will take place in three policing divisions in Greater Manchester, the entire police force area of Wiltshire and one territorial policing unit in West Mercia.
These provisions include the power for an authorising officer to issue a domestic violence protection notice to an alleged perpetrator of domestic violence, and the power for a magistrates’ court, on application made by complaint by a constable, to make a domestic violence protection order.
