The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Application of Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984) (Amendment) Order 2017

Section 355 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c.29) (“POCA”) allows the Secretary of State to make an order which applies sections 15, 16, 21 and 22 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60) (“PACE”) (“the PACE provisions”) with modifications, in relation to search and seizure warrants obtained in the course of certain categories of investigation in Part 8 of POCA. For the purpose of POCA investigations, search and seizure warrants may be obtained by an “appropriate person” under section 352 of POCA. The PACE provisions deal with safeguards in relation to the application for, and execution of, search warrants; and the granting of access to, and retention of, things seized under search warrants.
