<p /> <p>We plan to put an end to the cautions culture and to replace the conditional
caution with the suspended prosecution. Before doing so, Staffordshire Police, West
Yorkshire Police and Leicestershire Police are piloting a new, two-tier framework
for out of court disposals based on the conditional caution and the community resolution.</p><p>
</p><p>Police officers in these areas, as in other parts of England and Wales, may
in exceptional circumstances administer a conditional caution for an indictable only
offence and must seek the permission of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) before
doing so. There is no requirement for police officers to seek the approval of the
CPS before administering a community resolution.</p>
