Which recordable encounter involves PSPO enforcement?

• A. ASB Section 35 Dispersal power.
• B. Power to search for alcohol and tobacco.
• C. Confiscation of alcohol and tobacco from under 16s.
• D. PSPO enforcement.

Answer: (D)

Enforcing a PSPO is when you apply a Public Spaces Protection Order in a public area to stop or prevent anti-social behaviour. This type of interaction is recorded because you’re enforcing a specific order that governs what people can or cannot do in that space. The encounter involves notifying the person of the PSPO, ensuring compliance, or directing them to leave or stop the prohibited behaviour, and then logging the enforcement action. The other options describe different powers used in anti-social behaviour situations (dispersal under ASB powers, searching for alcohol or tobacco, or confiscating alcohol/tobacco from a minor). They are not actions that involve enforcing a PSPO, which is why the PSPO enforcement option is the correct choice.
