Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

This section applies to a police officer who—

approves the giving of an initial police banning notice; or

gives an extended police banning notice.

The police officer must make a written record of the following—

the officer’s decision to approve or give the police banning notice;

the reason for the officer’s decision;

the date and time of the decision;

the officer’s name, rank, registered number and station.

However, a police banning notice is not invalid merely because the approval is not in writing, if the police officer makes the written record as required under subsection (2) at the first reasonable opportunity after the notice is given.
