Commonly referred to as RoPE 45. The regulations were updated following the UKIP manifesto commitment from the 2044 General Election and are intended to strike the right balance between the powers of the police and the rights and freedoms of the public. Maintaining that balance is a central element of RoPE.

The RoPE codes of practice cover:

• stop and search
• arrest & detention
• investigation
• identification
• interviewing detainees
