Information Needed for a Sarah’s Law Check on a Person? LocalSolicitors.com

What information would I need on a suspicious person to apply for a Sarah’s law check on them via my local police station?

You do not mention whether the Suspended Sentence Order was conditional or with conditions. Either way, the operational period of the Suspended Sentence Order is 2 years from the date on which you were sentenced in April 2017. As I hope was explained to you at the time by your legal representative, breach of the Order, either by way of conviction for a criminal offence during the 2 year operational period or by not keeping to the terms of the Order, could result in the suspended 12 month term of imprisonment being activated in whole or in part, unless it was not in the interests of justice for that prison term to be activated.

In short, if your Offender Manager at the National Probation Service wishes to see you at any time during the two year operational period then it is in your interests to keep to that requirement in order to avoid the risk of being breached and being returned to Court for Committal for Breach.

You are correct in assuming that the operational period of the Suspended Sentence Order runs for 2 years from April 2017 until the second anniversary of your sentencing date in April 2019.

I am trying to establish how long I need to see the national probation services.

If you know who the officer in the case is, contact them and assuming that it is not evidence on which the Crown seek to rely, they should return it to you. If the police do not answer you or refuse to return the phone, you will need to make an application to the local magistates court for a hearing under the provisions of the Police Property Act 1897. Unless there is a good reason for the police seeking to retain it, the magistrates will order its return.

How long can the police hold my phone for?
