  "short_title": "Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) 2004",
  "long_title": "These Regulations apply to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (the “2003 Act”) re-enacts Part I of the Sex Offenders Act 1997 (the “1997 Act”), with modifications. These Regulations therefore replace with amendments the Sex Offenders (Notification Requirements) (Prescribed Police Stations) Regulations 2001 which were made under equivalent powers in the 1997 Act. The 2003 Act specifies that relevant offenders are subject to requirements to notify certain personal details to the police. Section 87(1) of the 2003 Act provides for such notifications to be given by attending any police station in a person’s local police area which is prescribed in regulations. “Local police area” is defined in section 88(3) of the 2003 Act. Under the 2003 Act, relevant offenders may attend a police station in their local area prescribed in these Regulations in order to fulfil their notification obligations. Their obligations are to supply an initial notification to police, notify them of changes in their notifiable details, to notify the police periodically after the initial notification, and to comply with notification requirements in respect of travel outside the United Kingdom.",
