EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend schedule 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 (“the principal Regulations”).

By virtue of section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 relevant offenders must fulfil their notification requirements under that Act by attending any police station which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations. The principal Regulations prescribe those police stations. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by substituting the address for Aberdeen Police Station and Peterhead Police Station and by removing Saracen Police Station from the list of prescribed police stations.
