<p>Police Information Notices (PINs) are an operational tool used by some police forces
in England and Wales. Their use is the responsibility of the police and the issuing
of guidance about them is the responsibility of the College of Policing. Information
on their use is not collected centrally. The issuance of Police Information Notices
(PINs) is an operational matter for police forces. Responsibility for the publication
of information relating to PINs rests with Chief Constables.</p><p> </p><p>Following
this year’s joint inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire
& Rescue Service and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Inspectorate
which recommended the police cease use of PINs, we have been working with the National
Policing Lead and the College of Policing on next steps on the use of PINs. The Home
Secretary also chaired a National Oversight Group to ensure the inspection’s findings
are acted upon.</p>
