SCHEDULE 2Cautions

1.  You do not have to say anything, but I must caution you that if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in any subsequent misconduct proceedings, it may harm your defence. You may, if you so desire, make a written or oral statement to the investigating officer or the chief constable. Anything you mention when questioned or any written or oral statement you make may be given in evidence at such misconduct proceedings.

(a)on your person

(b)in or on your clothing/footwear

(c)in your possession

(d)in the place where you were at that time,

a [state the object/substance/mark].

  • I believe the presence of this [state the object/substance/mark] may be due to your having breached the Code of Conduct.

  • You do not have to say anything about [state the object/substance/mark], but I must caution you that if you fail or refuse to account for [state the object/substance/mark] then your failure or refusal may be treated in any subsequent misconduct proceedings as supporting any relevant evidence against you. If you do say anything it may be given in evidence at such misconduct proceedings.

  • I now ask you to account for [state the object/substance/mark]. Have you anything you wish to say?

3.  You were found on [day and date] at [place] at [time] which is at or about the time the Code of Conduct is alleged to have been breached.

I believe your presence at [place] at that time may be due to your involvement in this breach of the Code of Conduct.

You do not have to say anything about your presence at [place], on [day and date] at [time] but I must caution you that if you fail or refuse to account for your presence at [place] then your failure or refusal may be treated in any subsequent misconduct proceedings as supporting any relevant evidence against you.
