PACE
The Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 is an act of Parliament. The aim of PACE is to establish a balance between the powers of the police in England and Wales and the rights and freedoms of the public. No one ever reads the act itself. Instead police and reps use the Codes of Practice. When people talk about PACE they tend to mean the Codes of Practice. The Codes of Practice set out the law in a more easily digestible way. But the content is largely the same.

Reps and Police officers need to know Code C backwards. The best reps are those who read it again and again and can quote it chapter and verse.

Copies of the current edition of the Codes of Practice, can be downloaded from the Home Office website. Click here. Paper copies can be obtained for around £9.50 from most good bookshops.
