Where an order on conviction is sought, police must supply sufficient details to
                 the Prosecutor to justify application for the order sought and any documentation
                 must be attached to the file. Such orders include:
                 • An exclusion order, such as being banned from licensed premises or sporting
                    grounds.
                 • Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
                 • Protection from Harassment Act restraining order.
                 • Compensation order – may be made on conviction, where there has been some
                    personal injury, loss or damage to any person, for the offence charged or
                    taken into consideration.
                 Courts often award compensation at the first hearing, so it is important that,
                 where known, an estimate of the cost of loss or damage is included on the MG5
                 form. Additionally, full details of any victim likely to be awarded compensation
                 should be shown on an MG6 form.
                 Issues with the Independent Members of the Public’s Witness Statements: -
                 I continue to raise even larger concerns of issue with regards towards the
                 Independent members of the public’s witness statements, not being signed by the
                 witness them self but by active police officers on duty. I am also further
                 concerned and raise issue with there being no statement of truth attached to all of
                 the mg11 witness statement forms, both issues are a criminal offence of the Fraud
                 Act 2006 as follows: -
                 1. Fraud
                 (1) A person is guilty of fraud if he is in breach of any of the sections listed in
                 subsection
                 (2) (Which provide for different ways of committing the offence).
                 The sections are: -
                 (a) Section 2 (fraud by false representation): -
                 (b) Section 3 (fraud by failing to disclose information), and: -
                 (c) Section 4 (fraud by abuse of position).
                 (3) A person who is guilty of fraud is liable: -
                 442,
                 (a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months
                 or to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum (or to both);
                 (b) On conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10
                 years or to a fine (or to both).
                 All MG Forms are Managed under Guidance From: -
                 All mg forms are managed under guidance from the home office, so for the
                 evidential and authenticity standards to be complied with, so for all associated
                 tools required to create, transport and store a Digital Witness Statement (DWS) is
                 completed with sufficient evidential authenticity and integrity.
                 The Key Requirements of Digital Witness Statements are: -
                 1. The witness must be fully aware of the implications of signing.
                 2. The mechanism for proving a document must be agreed by the National
                 Prosecution Team.
                 3. Where vector representations of signatures are used, these shall use open
                 standards and must also include a simple image of the signature.
                 Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 places a duty on investigators to
                 pursue all reasonable lines of enquiry and to record and retain all relevant
                 material.
