Details
The document provides agencies such as the Courts, Police, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and defence solicitors with information for each stage of decision making where electronic monitoring is, or could be used, including when considering whether tagged bail is an option and during the tagging period.
It sets out information on what communication is necessary between agencies to make electronic monitoring on bail as effective and efficient as possible.
For example, when and what information is shared between the police, the CPS and the courts on a person’s bail conditions and any breaches.
The protocol does not introduce any new processes or policies on the use of electronic monitoring for court bail.
