Abstract

These Digical Processing Notices (DPN) provide the basis for the minimum recommended level of information to be both captured and provided to victims, witnesses and suspects by police forces. These forms replace those issued in 2019, to better implement the principles set out in the 2020 Bater-James ruling.

  • DPNa - Devices taken from victims/witnesses (capture template and information for victims/witnesses)
  • DPNb - Victim/witness Frequently Asked Questions (Information for victims/witnesses)
  • DPNc - Devices taken from suspects (capture template and information for suspects

The guidance at the end of each section is particularly relevant on how to best implement these requirements into a solution.
