Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002

A public safety order must specify—

the public event or premises or other area to which it applies, and

the person (or class of persons) to which it applies, and

that a contravention of the order may constitute an offence that carries a maximum penalty of imprisonment for 5 years, and

in the case of an order that applies to premises or another area other than in connection with a public event—the period during which the order will be in force (being a period not exceeding 72 hours), and

in the case of an order that applies to a public event—

the location or locations in which the event is being held for the purposes of the order, and

if the public event is held over consecutive days—when the event is taken to start and finish for the purposes of the order, and

if the public event is held over non-consecutive days—when the event is taken to start and finish for the purposes of the order for each of the days it is held (being a combined period that does not exceed 72 hours in total).

Subject to subsection (3), a public safety order remains in force only for the period or periods specified in the order in accordance with this section.

A public safety order that applies to a public event that is cancelled ceases to be in force on that cancellation.
