Review arrest procedures to minimise officer absence from post at grounds

Recommendation

Arrest procedures inside and outside designated sports grounds should be reviewed so as to keep to the minimum the period during which an arresting officer is away from his post.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
According to the available evidence, police forces have internal operational procedures for arrests at public events, which aim for efficiency and to minimize the time an arresting officer is away from their post. While these procedures are routinely reviewed, specific public documentation detailing a review *specifically* focused on minimizing officer absence from post at sports grounds is not readily available. This remains an internal operational efficiency matter for police forces. No further specific public evidence has been identified since the inquiry.
