Good quality BOLO management limits the amount of time suspects remain wanted by the Police and therefore their likelihoodof reoffending whilst on BOLO. It improves Police efficiency, delivers swifter justice, and improves victim satisfaction. The aim of this policy is to have a standardised approach to circulating BOLOs, ensuring that nominals are circulated appropriat ely and timely. Scope This policy applies to all police officers . Principles General The BOLO circulation process across the force is standardised. Each District will follow the same principles prior to a suspect becoming BOLO as outlined in this policy. Each case will be assessed dependent upon its individual circumstances and threat, harm and risk. There will be two types of BOLO, Immediate and nonimmediate circulation. It is accepted that certain crime types and specific circumstances will justify BOLO immediately; where the suspect is recorded on one of the following crimes there is a presumption that these will justify immediate circulation:High risk Domestic Incident;Serious Sexual OffenceSerious Violence (section 18/20)Serious Acquisitive Offender with high likelihood of reoffendingActive OCG member or other dangerous offender Recorded 3 or more outstanding offences; andAny other risk that the OIC identifiesThese will require full consideration of the Sgt/Inspector with a fullrationale and action plan outlined on the OELIn cases where circulation is notdeemed immediate, it will be expected that all reasonable lines of enquiries will be completed and all key evidence (all evidence required to make a charging decision) we available, attached to the crime and documented correctly on the Niche Occurrence. All reasonable lines of enquiry to trace the suspect must be exhausted, and the BOLO checklist completed. ��NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED BOLO Circulation Page 4 of 7 It is known that with good investigative work to locate a suspect often avoids the necessity to circulate as BOLO.
