Q

Rules around arresting in relation to PSO’s

A

There are not many occasions when dealing with a PSO that you can arrest a person.
You can arrest in the following situations:
• Any person against whom a PSO is going to be issued, fails or refuses to remain at a place where they are detained (section 32(2)).
• Where a bound person breaches (fails or refuses to comply with any condition) a PSO you may apply to the court for a warrant to arrest (WTA). This provides a power of entry.
• Detain (rather than arrest) any person against whom a PSO is issued who fails or refuses to comply with any condition of the order, a Constable may “take the person into custody” (section 43(2)).
• If you take a person into custody for breaching a PSO, you may use such force as is reasonably necessary.
