# The Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2008, Note: Explanatory note

Extent: S

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 provides that a sex offender who is subject to the notification requirements in Part 2 of that Act fulfils their requirements by attending any police station in their local police area which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations.
These Regulations revoke the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the 2004 Regulations”) and prescribe a consolidated list of police stations for this purpose for each police area in Scotland. In comparison with the list of prescribed police stations maintained under the 2004 Regulations, these Regulations remove Caithness Police Station and add Wick Police Station as prescribed police stations in the Northern Police Area. Glasgow West End Police Station in Glasgow also becomes a prescribed police station in the Strathclyde Police Area.
