	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Penalty Notices for Disorder are one type of Out of Court Disposal, which allow police to deal quickly and proportionately with low-level offending without recourse to the courts.</p><p> </p><p>The responsibility lies with Police forces regarding the retention of data. These records must be regularly reviewed to ensure that they remain necessary for a policing purpose, and are adequate and up to date. Records should be disposed of when there is no longer a policing purpose for retaining them.</p><p> </p><p>We are working in partnership with the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) whose <em>Charging and Out of Court Disposals</em> strategy (2017-2021) promotes a simplified ‘two-tier’ framework in which all out of court disposals have a condition attached. The strategy asks forces to move to the simplified two-tier framework when it is operationally and financially viable. We have no separate plans to review Penalty Notices for Disorder specifically.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 09/09/2019 14:08:00 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
