<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>
