Lodged au Greffe on 23rd May 2017 by the Chief Minister
STATES GREFFE
2017 P.42
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to agree, pursuant to Article 31(1)(b)(i) of the States of Jersey Law 2005, that a request be made to Her Majesty in Council for the making of an Order in Council that would extend to Jersey, with appropriate modifications and adaptations, the provisions of –
- Part 1 and Part 4 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015; and
- Schedules 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 to the said Act dependent on those Parts,
as summarised in the attached Report.
CHIEF MINISTER
REPORT
- In July 2016 the Jersey Government informed the United Kingdom Government of its wish to extend Parts 1 and 4 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 ("the 2015 Act") to Jersey.
- The background to the 2015 Act was that the UK Government considered that there was a need to legislate in order to reduce the terrorism threat to the UK. In August 2014, the independent Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre had raised the UK national terrorist threat level from SUBSTANTIAL to SEVERE. This meant that a terrorist attack was "highly likely". In September of that year, it was announced that legislation would be brought forward in a number of areas to stop people travelling overseas to fight for terrorist organisations or engage in terrorism-related activity and subsequently returning to the UK, and to deal with those already in the UK who pose a risk to the Public. The provisions in the 2015 Act were intended to ensure that the law enforcement and intelligence agencies were able to disrupt the ability of people to travel abroad to fight, such as in Syria and Iraq, and control their return to the UK.
- The provisions of the Act extendable to Jersey are Part 1 and Part 4.
Annex A to this Proposition shows the draft Order in Council as settled by Jersey and United Kingdom legal advisers.
Part 1 of the 2015 Act
- Part 1 brought forward measures on temporary restrictions on travel. It consists of Chapters 1 and 2.
Annex B to this Proposition shows full text of Part 1 in its extended form.
Part 1, Chapter 1
- Chapter 1, together with Schedule 1, provides police officers, designated immigration officers and customs officials, and Border Force officers acting under the direction of a police officer, with a power to search for and seize a passport at the border and retain it for a period of time, when it is suspected that an individual is travelling for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside of the United Kingdom.
- The draft Order in Council will apply Chapter 1 and Schedule 1 to Jersey so as to make provision for the seizure and temporary retention of travel documents where a person is suspected of intending to leave Jersey in connection with terrorism-related activity.
- In particular, under Schedule 1 as extended –
- search and seizure powers will be able to be used where a police officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a person at a port in Jersey intends to leave Jersey to become involved in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands;
- the police officer will be able to exercise the search and seizure powers himself or herself, or direct that a qualified immigration officer or customs official does;
- a qualified officer or official will be one who has been designated by the Minister for Home Affairs for the purposes of the Schedule, and will have received training in the exercise of these powers;
- a travel document will generally not be able to be retained beyond 14 days beginning with the day after the day the document was seized, unless that period is extended by the Magistrate.
- Schedule 1 makes further detailed provision about retention of seized documents, whether for Court proceedings or in connection with a decision whether to make a deportation order; and about orders by the Magistrate regarding the retention of a travel document.
- In general terms, the powers exercisable under Schedule 1 in the UK by the Minister will be exercisable in Jersey by the Minister for Home Affairs.
- It should be noted especially that, under paragraph 18 of Schedule 1 as extended, the Minister will be required to issue a code of practice with regard to the exercise of functions under the Schedule. The code of practice must in particular deal with the following matters –
- the procedure for making designations of qualified officers (see 7(c) above) and in respect of accrediting immigration officers and customs officials;
- training to be undertaken by persons who are to exercise powers under Schedule 1;
- the exercise by police officers, immigration officers and customs officials of functions conferred on them by virtue of Schedule 1;
- information to be given to a person in whose case a power under Schedule 1 is exercised;
- how and when that information is to be given;
- reviews of retentions of travel documents.
- A police officer, immigration officer or customs official will be required to perform functions conferred on him or her by virtue of Schedule 1 in accordance with any relevant provision included in the Minister's code. A tentative draft of the code of practice under paragraph 18 of Schedule 1 as extended has been prepared.
Annex C1 to this Proposition shows the full text of Schedule 1 in its extended form.
Annex C2 to this Proposition shows the text of the tentative draft of the code of practice under paragraph 18 of Schedule 1 as extended.
Part 1, Chapter 2
- The draft Order in Council will apply Chapter 2 and Schedule 2 to Jersey so as to provide for the creation of a temporary exclusion order to disrupt and control the return to Jersey of a British citizen reasonably suspected of involvement in terrorist activity abroad.
- Under section 2 as extended, a "temporary exclusion order" ("TEO") will require the individual on whom it is imposed not to return to Jersey unless his or her return is in accordance with a permit to return issued by the Minister before the individual began the return, or the return is the result of the individual's deportation to Jersey.
- The Minister will be able to impose a TEO only where 5 conditions have been met. Subsections (3) to (7) of section 2 outline those conditions. The Minister must reasonably suspect that the individual is, or has been, involved in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands, and must reasonably consider that it is necessary to impose a TEO for purposes connected with protecting the Public in Jersey from a risk of terrorism. While the TEO is in place, the Minister must keep under review whether the second of these conditions is met.
- Additionally, the Minister must reasonably consider that the individual is outside the British Islands when the order is imposed, and the individual must have the right of abode in Jersey. Section 2(1) of the Immigration Act 1971 as extended to Jersey provides that British citizens and certain Commonwealth citizens have the right of abode in Jersey.
- The Minister will be able to impose a TEO only if the Royal Court ("the Court") has given prior permission, or if he or she reasonably considers that the urgency of the case requires an order to be imposed without obtaining such permission.
- Section 3 as extended will make provision for the role of the Court in providing prior permission to the Minister to impose a TEO. It details the function of the Court, allows the Court to consider the application even if the person is not aware of the proposal to impose a TEO on him or her, and requires the Court to apply judicial review principles in determining it. It also introduces Schedule 2.
Annex D to this Proposition shows the full text of Schedule 2 in its extended form.
- This Schedule requires the Minister to refer an urgent TEO to the Court after imposing it. The Schedule requires the Court to apply judicial review principles and gives the Court power to quash an urgent TEO.
- Section 4 as extended will make supplementary provision in relation to temporary exclusion orders. In particular, provision is made for giving notice of a TEO to the person on whom it has been imposed. There will be a duty on the Minister to give notice; including an explanation of how the individual can apply for a permit to return. Provision is also made as to how revocation of an order will operate; and, among other things, provision that any British passport held by the individual subject to a TEO is invalidated as soon as the order comes
into force, and that any passport issued while the TEO remains in force and the individual is outside the British Islands is invalid.
- Sections 5 and 6 as extended will make provision that an individual subject to a TEO may in certain circumstances be given a permit to return which gives him or her permission to return to Jersey. The document may include conditions with which the individual is required to comply. The Minister will be able to refuse to issue a permit to return if the Minister has required the individual to attend an interview and the individual has failed to do so.
- Section 7 as extended will provide that that the Minister must issue a travel document if the individual is being deported by another country to Jersey, whether or not a request has been made by the individual. The Minister will be able to issue a permit to return to an individual if the Minister considers that, because of the urgency of the situation, it is expedient to do so, even though no application has been made for one, and the Minister does not consider that the individual is to be deported to Jersey.
- Under section 8 as extended, the Minister will be able to vary a permit to return.
- Section 9 as extended will make provision enabling the Minister to impose obligations on an individual subject to a TEO when he or she has returned to Jersey. The obligations which the Minister may impose include obligations to report to a police station and attendance at appointments with specified persons. The individual may also be required to notify the police of his or her place of residence and any change of address.
- Section 10 as extended will provide that it is an offence for an individual subject to a TEO to return to Jersey in contravention of the TEO, without a reasonable excuse; and it will be irrelevant for the purposes of this offence whether or not the individual has a passport or similar other identity document. It will be an offence for an individual subject to a TEO not to comply, without a reasonable excuse, with obligations imposed by the Minister under section 9.
- The maximum penalties for conviction of an individual for the 2 new offences will be imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years, or a fine, or both.
- Section 11 as extended will make provision for an individual subject to a TEO to be able to apply to the Court for a statutory review of the decision to impose a TEO, and any associated in-country measures, once the individual is back in Jersey. It details which decisions the individual may apply to have reviewed, the principles the Court must apply in reviewing the decisions, and the powers it has on review.
- Section 12 as extended will make provision –
- in conjunction with Schedule 3, as extended, about proceedings relating to temporary exclusion orders;
- in conjunction with Schedule 4, as extended, about appeals against convictions in certain cases under the 2015 Act.
Annex E to this Proposition shows the full text of Schedule 3 in its extended form. Annex F to this Proposition shows the full text of Schedule 4 in its extended form.
- Schedule 3 as extended details the provisions that will be able to be made by Rules of Court (i.e. Rules made by the Superior Number of the Royal Court) in relation to temporary exclusion order proceedings, and the provisions that must be made in relation to disclosure. Under paragraph 8 of the Schedule, in certain proceedings the court may call in aid one or more advisers, and hear and dispose of the proceedings with their assistance. Rules of Court will be able to regulate the use of, and payment of remuneration, expenses and allowances to, such advisers.
- Provision is also made under paragraph 10 of Schedule 3 as extended, for the appointment by the Attorney General if need be of special counsel, that is to say, a person to represent the interests of a party in any TEO proceedings or appeal proceedings from which the party (and any legal representative of the party) is excluded.
- Schedule 4 as extended details the appeal proceedings available to an individual where a TEO or associated measure under it is quashed or altered, and the individual has already been convicted of an offence under section 10(1) or (3), as extended, in connection with the TEO or measure.
- Section 13 as extended will empower the Minister to make provision by Order about the giving of notice under sections 4 and 9. The Minister will also be empowered to provide for legislation relating to passports or other identity documents to apply (with or without modifications) to permits to return.
- Section 14 as extended provides definitions for terms set out in Chapter 2 of Part 1 (as extended).
Part 4 of the 2015 Act (and Schedule 5)
- Part 4 as extended will enable the Minister for Home Affairs to introduce authority-to-carry schemes. Such schemes will be made by Order, and will be schemes requiring a person (a "carrier") to seek authority from the Minister to carry persons on aircraft or ships which are –
- arriving, or expected to arrive, in Jersey, or
- leaving, or expected to leave, Jersey.
- In particular, the Minister will be able to provide by Order for imposing penalties for breaching the requirements of an authority-to-carry scheme (section 24). Any such penalty will have to be paid to the Treasurer of the States and credited to the Annual Income of the States.
- Part 4, in conjunction with Schedule 5, as extended, will also amend existing legislation to enhance the provision of passenger, crew and service information; provide that carriers may be required to use passenger information systems capable of receiving directions when authority to carry is refused or specific security measures are required, and enable enforceable standing requirements
for passenger, crew and service information to be imposed on specified categories of incoming and outgoing non-scheduled traffic.
- Amendments are also to be made to current provisions for directions relating to aviation and shipping, in order to strengthen the Minister's ability to impose security measures on aircraft operators as a condition of their operation to Jersey, and on shipping operators as a condition of their entry into Jersey ports.
Annex G to this Proposition shows the full text of Part 4 and Schedule 5 in their extended form.
Collective responsibility under Standing Order 21(3A)
Under Standing Order 68A, this Proposition will be proposed by the Minister for Home Affairs. Paragraph 5 of the Code of Conduct and Practice for Ministers and Assistant Ministers states that the principle of collective responsibility extends to the Assistant Ministers of the Minister proposing a matter to the States Assembly.
The Council of Ministers has a single policy position on this proposition, and as such, all Ministers, and the Assistant Minister for Home Affairs, are bound by the principle of collective responsibility to support the proposition, as outlined in the Code of Conduct and Practice for Ministers and Assistant Ministers (R.11/2015 refers).
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this Proposition.

CHAPTER 2
TEMPORARY EXCLUSION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOMJERSEY
Imposition of temporary exclusion orders
2 Temporary exclusion orders
- A "temporary exclusion order" is an order which requires an individual not to return to the United KingdomJersey unless
- the return is in accordance with a permit to return issued by the Secretary of StateMinister before the individual began the return, or
- the return is the result of the individual's deportation to the United KingdomJersey.
- The Secretary of StateMinister may impose a temporary exclusion order on an individual if conditions A to E are met.
- Condition A is that the Secretary of StateMinister reasonably suspects that the individual is, or has been, involved in terrorism-related activity outside the United KingdomBritish Islands.
- Condition B is that the Secretary of StateMinister reasonably considers that it is necessary, for purposes connected with protecting members of the public in the United KingdomJersey from a risk of terrorism, for a temporary exclusion order to be imposed on the individual.
- Condition C is that the Secretary of StateMinister reasonably considers that the individual is outside the United KingdomBritish Islands.
- Condition D is that the individual has the right of abode in the United KingdomJersey.
- Condition E is that
(a) the Royal cCourt gives the Secretary of StateMinister permission under section 3, or
(b) the Secretary of StateMinister reasonably considers that the urgency of the case requires a temporary exclusion order to be imposed without obtaining such permission.
- During the period that a temporary exclusion order is in force, the Secretary of StateMinister must keep under review whether condition B is met.
3 Temporary exclusion orders: prior permission of the court
(1) This section applies if the Secretary of StateMinister
- makes the relevant decisions in relation to an individual, and
- makes an application to the Royal cCourt for permission to impose a temporary exclusion order on the individual.
(2) The function of the Royal cCourt on the application is to determine whether the relevant decisions of the Secretary of StateMinister are obviously flawed.
(3) The Royal cCourt may consider the application
- in the absence of the individual,
- without the individual having been notified of the application, and
- without the individual having been given an opportunity (if the individual was aware of the application) of making any representations to the cCourt.
- But that does not limit the matters about which rules of court may be made.
- In determining the application, the Royal cCourt must apply the principles applicable on an application for judicial review.
- In a case where the Royal cCourt determines that any of the relevant decisions of the Secretary of StateMinister is obviously flawed, the cCourt may not give permission under this section.
(7) In any other case, the cCourt must give permission under this section.
- Schedule 2 makes provision for references to the Royal cCourt etc where temporary exclusion orders are imposed in cases of urgency.
- Only the Secretary of StateMinister may appeal against a determination of the Royal cCourt under
- this section, or
- Schedule 2;
and such an appeal may only be made on a question of law.

- condition A;
- condition B;
- condition C;
- condition D.

- A temporary exclusion order
- comes into force when notice of its imposition is given; and
- is in force for the period of two years (unless revoked or otherwise brought to an end earlier).
- The Secretary of StateMinister may revoke a temporary exclusion order at any time.
(5) The Secretary of StateMinister must give notice of the revocation of a temporary
exclusion order to the excluded individual.
- If a temporary exclusion order is revoked, it ceases to be in force when notice of
its revocation is given.
- The validity of a temporary exclusion order is not affected by the excluded individual
- returning to the United Kingdom Jersey, or
- departing from the United Kingdom Jersey.
- The imposition of a temporary exclusion order does not prevent a further temporary exclusion order from being imposed on the excluded individual (including in a case where an order ceases to be in force at the expiry of its two year duration).
- At the time when a temporary exclusion order comes into force, any British passport held by the excluded individual is invalidated.
- During the period when a temporary exclusion order is in force, the issue of a British passport to the excluded individual while he or she is outside the United KingdomBritish Islands is not valid.
- In this section "British passport" means a passport, or other document which enables or facilitates travel from one state to another (except a permit to return), that has been
- issued by or for Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, and
- issued in respect of a person's status as a British citizen.

- the time at which, or period of time during which, the individual is permitted to arrive on return to the United KingdomJersey;
- the manner in which the individual is permitted to return to the United KingdomJersey; and

7 Issue of permit to return: deportation or urgent situation
(1) The Secretary of StateMinister must issue a permit to return to an individual if the Secretary of StateMinister considers that the individual is to be deported to the United KingdomJersey.
(2) The Secretary of StateMinister may issue a permit to return to an individual if
- the Secretary of StateMinister considers that, because of the urgency of the situation, it is expedient to issue a permit to return even though no application has been made under section 6, and
- there is no duty to issue a permit to return under subsection (1).
(3) Subsection (1) or (2) applies whether or not any request has been made to issue the permit to return under that provision.
8 Permit to return: supplementary provision
(1) The Secretary of StateMinister may vary a permit to return.

- the procedure under which the Minister may designate immigration officers and customs officials ("JCIS officers") to exercise functions under Schedule 1;
- the training to be undertaken by persons who are to exercise powers under Schedule 1;
- the exercise by police and JCIS officers of their functions under Schedule 1;
- the information to be provided to a person subject to the exercise of powers under Schedule 1 and when and how that information should be provided; and
- the process for reviewing the decision to authorise retention of travel documents1 within 72 hours
of the taking of the documents.
- The code applies to police officers and JCIS officers only when they are exercising their functions under Schedule 1.
- Schedule 1 provides a power to allow for the taking and retention of travel documents for a period of up to 14 days where a person is at a port and the police officer reasonably suspects that the person is there:
- with the intention of leaving Jersey for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands; or
- has arrived in Jersey with the intention of leaving again soon for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands.
For the purposes of this code of practice, the above is referred to as "the test".
- Under Schedule 1, the 14 day retention period begins at 00.00 hours on the day after the documents were first taken, e.g. if the documents were retained at 22.00 on Monday, the retention period starts from 00.00 on Tuesday and would end a fortnight later at 23.59 Monday. A senior police officer of at least the rank of chief inspector may apply to the Magistrate to extend the retention period beyond 14 days if more time is required to investigate the case or consider further disruptive action (this is referred to as the "14 day retention period"). The Magistrate cannot extend the retention period by more than 30 days, beginning at the next 00.00 hours the day after the documents were first taken (this is referred to as "the 30 day retention period").
- Unless travel documents need to be retained for use in criminal or deportation proceedings, they must be returned, as soon as possible, if any of the following circumstances occur (whichever comes first):
- if the statutory test to retain travel documents is no longer met;
- if an authorising officer has declined to authorise retention of the passport;
- where consideration of further disruptive activity has been completed and no further action taken;
- if the 14 day retention period has ended and the Magistrate has not extended.
1 Definition of travel documents can be found at paragraph 30 (see also Glossary of Terms in the Annex)
.
- Unless travel documents need to be retained for use in criminal or deportation proceedings, then where the Magistrate has extended the period of retention of travel documents, the documents must
be returned:
- if the statutory test to retain travel documents is no longer met;
- where consideration of further disruptive activity has been completed and no further action taken;
- at the end of the extended period of retention set by the Magistrate, if no further extension up to 30 days has been granted;
- at the end of the 30 day period. Key roles
- A police officer may determine whether the test to exercise the power is met and exercise the power to search, take, inspect and retain documents.
A police officer may:
- require a person to hand over all travel documents in his or her possession;
- search for travel documents relating to the person and to take possession of any the officer finds;
- inspect any travel documents relating to the person; and
- where authorisation is obtained, retain travel documents for up to 14 days.
- In order to retain documents for a period of up to 14 days, the police officer must seek the authority of an authorising officer'. An authorising officer' means a senior police officer of at least the rank of Chief Inspector. The authorising officer must be satisfied that the test has been met. If the authorising officer does not give authorisation to retain the documents, then they must be returned to the person as soon as reasonably practicable. This procedure is referred to in this code as "authorisation". A decision on authorisation must be provided in writing or verbally as soon as is reasonably practicable. If provided verbally it should be recorded in writing as soon as is reasonably practicable.
- JCIS officers may also exercise powers under Schedule 1. The scope of a JCIS officers' powers will depend on whether he or she has been certified by the Minister to perform specific powers under the Schedule. A JCIS officer may or may not be a designated JCIS officer.[1]
- A designated JCIS officer is one who has been designated by the Minister to exercise powers under Schedule 1 where directed to do so by a police officer. Designated JCIS officers are not entitled to determine whether the test has been met. Designated JCIS Officers are entitled to exercise powers under Schedule 1 only where directed to do so by a police officer. The police officer is responsible for determining whether the test is met and for seeking authorisation. Where a designated JCIS officer has been given a direction he or she must, where possible, comply with that direction. A designated JCIS officer should pass travel documents to a police officer as soon as reasonably practicable and must do so where authorisation for retention has been given.
- A police officer may, therefore, where satisfied that the test is met, direct a designated JCIS officer to exercise powers under Schedule 1. A police officer may direct a designated JCIS officer to:
- require a person to hand over all travel documents in his or her possession;
- search for travel documents relating to the person and take possession of any the JCIS officer finds;
- inspect any travel documents relating to the person; and
- retain travel documents relating to the person while a police officer seeks authorisation[2] and,
where authorisation is obtained, pass the documents to a police officer.
- There may be occasions where a JCIS officer (whether designated or not) has a concern that an individual at port may be travelling for terrorism-related purposes. If so, the JCIS officer should refer his or her concern to the police in the usual way.
- If through the course of routine immigration duties the JCIS officer is already in lawful possession of travel documents, Schedule 1 entitles the JCIS officer to retain them while the concern is referred to the police. This referral may result in a police officer giving direction to a designated JCIS officer at a port to exercise the power under Schedule 1 or directing a JCIS officer already in possession of documents who is not designated to pass the documents to a police officer. In summary, a JCIS officer who is notdesignated may on direction by a police officer:
- retain any travel documents that have lawfully come into their possession whilst they seek advice from a police officer (which they must do as soon as possible);
- pass any travel documents that have lawfully come into their possession to a police officer.
- Within 72 hours of a travel document first coming into the possession of a police officer or a designated JCIS officer and where retention of the document under Schedule 1 has been authorised, a reviewing officer must carry out a review of the decision by the authorising officer to authorise the retention of the documents. The term reviewing officer' means a senior police officer of at least the rank of Superintendent and of at least as high a rank as the authorising officer for the particular case under consideration. The reviewing officer should be outside the chain of command of the authorising officer. The review must commence before the 72 hour period has lapsed, beginning from the time at which the travel documents first came into possession of a police officer or JCIS officer (even if taken under a power other than Schedule 1, which means that it is crucial that the time at which the documents were first taken is recorded). The reviewing officer must write to the Chief Officer of the force to which the police officer retaining the documents belongs (or is on secondment to) in order to advise of his or her findings. The Chief Officer must consider those findings and take whatever action is appropriate. This may include either returning travel documents or upholding the original decision to retain the travel documents.
- Under Schedule 1, there is no power to detain a person whose travel documents have been seized and retained. These powers are not intended to be used as a long-term disruption tool but as a means to take immediate action to disrupt travel where it is assessed that the purpose of the travel is involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands. This allows consideration of whether other long-term disruption action would be appropriate.
- Once the power has been exercised, if investigations conclude that the person was not intending to leave Jersey for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands, travel documents must be returned to the person at the earliest opportunity.
Use of the power when individuals are arriving in Jersey
- If an individual is arriving in Jersey, the power may be used if a police officer reasonably suspects that the person will leave soon for the purpose of involvement in terrorism related activity outside the British Islands. In determining soon' the police officer should assess whether the individual will remain in Jersey for a sufficient period to allow for alternative disruptive action to be taken in relation to the individual without the need to seize and retain his or her travel documents. If so, Schedule 1 must not be used.
Legal status of this code of practice
- Police officers (of any rank) and JCIS officers (whether or not designated) must exercise any functions conferred upon them by Schedule 1 in accordance with this code of practice. This code of practice is admissible in evidence in civil and criminal proceedings and may be taken into account by a court or tribunal in any case where it is considered relevant.
- This code of practice must be available at police offices at ports, and JCIS offices as appropriate, where the power is, or is likely to be used. The code must form part of the published departmental instructions/guidance for JCIS officers. The code should also be accessible to members of the public on the websites of the relevant agencies, including the police, Home Affairs and JCIS.
SCOPE OF THE POWERS
Reasonable suspicion
- The power to seize and retain travel documents at a port may be exercised if the test is met. The test uses the evidential standard of reasonable suspicion' which is used in relation to many other police powers. What constitutes reasonable grounds for suspicion will depend on the circumstances in each individual case. There must be an objective basis for the police officer's state of mind based on facts. Such information must be specific to the personal conduct of the person. It can include observation of the behaviour of the person; information obtained from any other source; or a combination of these. Reasonable suspicion cannot be formed on the basis of assumptions about the attitudes, beliefs or behaviour of persons who belong to particular groups or categories of people. To exercise powers under Schedule 1 on this basis would be discriminatory.
- There are two probable scenarios where a potential case for exercise of Schedule 1 may be identified:
- information is provided to the police before or when a person arrives at a port; or
- at port, on the basis of observation of behaviour, information obtained from any other source, or a combination of these.
Applicability
- Schedule 1 powers can be exercised at a port in respect of any person of any age, of any nationality, and whether or not they are resident in Jersey.
- The power to seize and retain travel documents can play an important role in the detection and prevention of terrorism, and using the power fairly makes it more effective. The power contained in Schedule 1 must be used fairly and proportionately, with respect for the person to whom the power has been applied. The power must be exercised in accordance with the prescribed procedures and without discrimination. A failure to use the power in the proper manner may reduce its effectiveness.
- It is unlawful for officers to discriminate against, harass or victimize any person on the grounds of the protected characteristics[3] of: race, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity or age when using their powers.
Children
- Special care must be taken when considering exercising the power where it is evident that the person is a child. For the purposes of this Code, a child means anyone who appears to be under the age of 18 in the absence of clear evidence that he or she is older.
- When dealing with cases involving children (whether in family groups or unaccompanied), police officers, or designated JCIS officers, need to be aware of the necessity to safeguard a child's safety and welfare. This includes being alert to potential indicators of abuse or neglect and to the risks which abusers may pose to children.
- Officers exercising powers under Schedule 1 must bear in mind that children can be easily intimidated especially if they are travelling alone but, equally, that they can be vulnerable to exploitation by adults wishing to further terrorist aims. While officers are not precluded from seizing and/or retaining travel documents from children, in doing so they must have due regard to the vulnerability of the child.
- Where a police officer or JCIS officer exercises powers under Schedule 1, the following points must be considered:
- If it is proposed to search the child and the child is travelling with a responsible adult, the child must be searched in the presence of that responsible adult, unless that person is thought to be exerting influence or pressure which could be detrimental to the child's interest or is obstructive, or the child objects to the presence of this individual.
- If the police officer or JCIS officer decides to search the child in the absence of the responsible adult with whom that child is travelling then:
- the reasons for taking that decision must be recorded in writing;
- two officers of the same sex as the child should, where reasonably practicable, be present during the search.
- If the child is travelling unaccompanied, the officer:
- must attempt to contact the child's parent or legal guardian; if they cannot be contacted, the officer must assess the child's safety and welfare and consider, if necessary, the provisions of
legislation such as Article 41 of the Children (Jersey) Law 2002[4]; and
- where the officer has child protection concerns, referral should be made to the appropriate police unit and/or the Children's Service. It is routine for both police and JCIS officers to make referrals to the Children's Service where child protection issues are identified and where the Children's Service will assume responsibility for the welfare of the child.
Location
- The power can be exercised when the person is present at a port, that is to say, the Airport, any sea port or any other place at which a person is able, or attempting, to get on or off any craft, vessel or vehicle in connection with entering or leaving Jersey.
Travel documents
- Under the power contained in Schedule 1, a travel document means anything that is, or appears to be:
- a passport; or
- a ticket or other document that permits a person to make a journey by any means, from Jersey to a place outside Great Britain or the Bailiwick of Guernsey or the Isle of Man.
This means that a boarding pass or ticket permitting travel from Jersey to Northern Ireland is a travel document' for the purpose of Schedule 1 and, where the test is met, can be taken and retained. However any other ticket permitting travel from Jersey to any part of the British Islands (other than Northern Ireland) cannot be taken and retained.
A passport means:
- a United Kingdom passport;
- a passport issued by, or on behalf of, the authorities of a country or territory outside the British Islands, or by, or on behalf of, an international organisation; or
- a document that can be used (in some or all circumstances) instead of a passport, such as an identity card.
Criminal offence
- It is a criminal offence under Schedule 1 for a person to:
- refuse to hand over all travel documents in his or her possession without reasonable excuse to do so; or
- intentionally obstruct or seek to frustrate a search.
A person guilty of either or both of these offences is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or a fine not exceeding level 3 on the (Jersey) standard scale of fines.[1] A designated JCIS officer exercising this power has the same powers of arrest without warrant as a police officer in relation to these offences.
EXERCISING THE POWER
Police training
- Before the power comes into force, a briefing package will be rolled out to police officers located at ports and to officers of the rank of Chief Inspector and higher who will act as authorising officers and of the rank of Superintendent and higher who will act as reviewing officers. This will provide guidance on the use of the power and their functions under Schedule 1.
Directing JCIS officers
- In the majority of cases, it is expected that the power will be exercised by the police. However where a police officer is satisfied that the test is met, he or she has a discretion to direct a designated JCIS officer to exercise powers under Schedule 1 or to direct any other JCIS officer to retain a travel document (which the JCIS officer is already in lawful in possession of) in order to pass it to a police officer as soon as reasonably practicable.
- The discretion to direct may be useful, for example, where the police officer has received information which gives grounds to suspect that a person is en route to a particular port where there is no police presence, with the intention of leaving Jersey for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity. In these circumstances, the police officer should contact JCIS at the port in question and explain that the test in Schedule 1 may be met should the person arrive at the port. The JCIS officer should make contact with the police in the event that the person arrives at a port. The police officer may then make a determination as to whether the test is met on the basis of both the prior information and any additional information offered by the JCIS officer, for example, confirmation that the person is at the port.
- Examples of scenarios in which a police officer may exercise their power to direct a designated JCIS officer include when:
- a police officer determines that the test is met but he or she may not be available at a port to exercise the power;
- a police officer determines that the test is met on the basis of information (such as following a conversation with JCIS officers or other law enforcement officers at a port) but it is not reasonably practicable for the police to exercise the power themselves, for example, because there is no police presence at the port.
- A police officer may direct a designated JCIS officer verbally or in writing, but the details of the direction must be recorded in writing both by the directing police officer and by the receiving JCIS officer.
JCIS Officer training, designation and accreditation processes
- The Minister has the power to designate JCIS officers for the purpose of exercising functions under Schedule 1. A designated officer' may exercise powers under Schedule 1 where directed by a police officer to do so. Designated' JCIS officers will have completed the required training in the exercise of the power and received confirmation of their designated status. Designated JCIS officers will at all times require police direction to exercise the power.
- When a JCIS officer has undertaken the training programme, it is expected that that that officer will be suitably prepared to exercise the power. At this point, the officer will receive a letter of designation from or on behalf of the Minister which will confirm his or her designation.
- Schedule 1 provides for "accredited" JCIS officers to be able both to determine whether the test is met and to exercise the powers under that Schedule. As mentioned previously the Minister has not designated any of the JCIS officers as accredited officers; and will not do so without first having revised this code of practice.
APPLYING THE POWERS
Terrorism-related activity
- Schedule 1 powers may only be exercised where a police officer is satisfied that a person is at a port and the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that the person is there with the intention of travelling for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands. Under the power, terrorism-related activity is any one or more of the following:
- the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism;
- conduct that facilitates the commission, preparation or instigation of such acts, or is intended to do so;
- conduct that gives encouragement to the commission, preparation or instigation of such acts, or is intended to do so;
- conduct that gives support or assistance to individuals who are known or believed by the person concerned to be involved in the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism.
Searches
- Where the test is met, a police officer or a designated JCIS officer (on the direction of a police officer) may search a person for travel documents relating to that person. Police officers and designated JCIS officers have the power to search:
- a person;
- anything that person has with him or her; and
- any vehicle in which the officer believes the person to have been travelling or to be about
to travel.
To enable a search under this power a police officer or designated JCIS officer may:
- stop a person or vehicle for the purpose of exercising the power;
- if necessary, use reasonable force for the purpose of exercising the power;
- authorise a person to carry out a search on the officer's behalf.
- Every reasonable effort must be made to minimize potential embarrassment or offence that may be caused to a person being searched. A search of a person shall be carried out by a police officer or a designated JCIS officer or another person authorised to do so on their behalf. A person authorised to carrying out a search on behalf of a police officer or a designated JCIS officer shall be of the same sex as the person searched.
- A baggage search need not be carried out by a person of the same sex, but where that is requested or where an objection is raised to the search being conducted by a person of the opposite sex, the search should be conducted by a person of the same sex where that is reasonably practicable. If it is not reasonably practicable, the police officer or designated JCIS officer should record the objection in writing, but may proceed with the search.
- Searches under these powers do not preclude a search being carried out under other powers if appropriate, for example where a police officer has other powers by virtue of Jersey customary law or of statute.
- When a search of a person is carried out the police officer or designated JCIS officer must, if not uniformed, show a warrant card or similar evidence of his or her authority, but need not give his or her name. If requested, the police officer or designated JCIS officer must provide sufficient information to the person or his or her representative, such as an identification number and location, which would enable the officer to be identified in the event of any query or complaint.
RETENTION OF TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
- Travel documents may be retained for up to 14 days for the purpose of disrupting an individual's ability to leave Jersey while investigations are undertaken into whether it is appropriate to take further disruptive action against the individual.
- Travel documents may continue to be retained:
- while consideration in given to canceling the person's passport;
- while consideration is given to charging the person with an offence;
- while consideration is given to making the person subject to any order or measure to be made or imposed by a court, or by the Minister for purposes connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism; or
- while steps are taken to carry out any of these measures.
Temporary support arrangements
- This power can be used against any person of any nationality. The person does not need to be resident in Jersey or elsewhere in the British Islands.
- Retaining the passport (and other travel documents, if applicable) of a person who is not resident in Jersey or elsewhere in the British Islands will have the effect of preventing the individual from returning to their country of residence for the 14 day retention period (or potentially up to 30 days if the retention period is extended by the Magistrate). The power to retain travel documents of persons not resident in the British Islands must be exercised only where there are compelling reasons to do so. This is because the exercise of the power in relation to persons not resident in the British Islands is likely to have a significantly greater impact upon that person's freedoms than if that person were so resident. Accordingly for the exercise of the power to be proportionate in these circumstances, the police officer must be able to demonstrate that there are particularly compelling reasons for exercising it.
- Where the power to retain the passport is exercised against a non-resident person, a police officer or designated JCIS officer must inform the person that if he or she does not have the means to cover basic living costs for the duration of the retention period, provision may be made for basic accommodation and living costs.
Immigration status
- Where authorisation is obtained for retention of travel documents belonging to a person who is a foreign national, the officer exercising the power must inform the person that his or her presence in Jersey is lawful whilst the person's documents are being retained. Individuals who do not have leave to remain in Jersey will be expected to take all reasonable steps to leave Jersey once their travel documents are returned. If the foreign national has leave to remain in Jersey, he or she would remain on those leave conditions unless/until they are altered under immigration powers. This information should form part of the notice that is served in writing to the individual at port, as described at paragraph 69 of the code.
- If the exercise of this power means that travel companions are also unable to leave Jersey during the retention period, JCIS may use pre-existing immigration powers to permit entry or leave to remain in Jersey, if required. Applications for leave or entry should be considered on a case-by- cases basis.
72 hour review of authorisation
- Within 72 hours of travel documents being seized and retained, beginning from the time at which the travel documents first came into possession of the officer (even if taken under a power other than Schedule 1, in which case the time documents were first taken must be recorded) a reviewing officer must consider whether the decision to authorise the retention of the documents was flawed. The reviewing officer must be a senior police officer of at least the rank of Superintendent and of at least as high a rank as the authorising officer in the case under review. The reviewing officer should be outside the chain of command of the authorising officer. All relevant papers and records held by any officer exercising functions under Schedule 1 must be made available to the reviewing officer for the purposes of their review.
- The findings of the review must be communicated in writing to the Chief Officer. The Chief Officer must consider it and take whatever action he or she deems appropriate. This may include returning travel documents or upholding the original decision to retain the travel documents. If the Chief Officer decides to take action that is not in accordance with the findings of the review then he or she must record their reasoning in writing.
- All 72 hour review letters should if possible be copied to the National Policing Lead for Counter- Terrorism for their information. If designated JCIS officers were involved in the incident, the reviewing officer should consider whether their chain of command should also be involved in this correspondence, for information.
- Application to the Magistrate for an extension of the 14 day retention period
If it is assessed that additional time is required to investigate whether it is appropriate to take alternative disruptive measures against a person, a police officer of at least the rank of Chief Inspector may apply to the Magistrate for an extension of the retention period beyond the 14 day period. The Magistrate cannot grant an extension that exceeds the 30 day retention period. Any application must be made before the end of the initial 14 day retention period. An application will only be heard if reasonable efforts have been made to notify the person to whom the application relates of the time when the application was made and of the date, time and location of the hearing.
- At a hearing, the Magistrate will neither examine the merits of the exercise of the power nor review the officer's decision to exercise it. The Magistrate will instead consider whether persons responsible for considering the possibility of taking additional disruptive action (and taking steps in relation to that) have been acting diligently and expeditiously in the investigation. If the Magistrate concludes that they have been, then he or she must grant an extension. Any extension granted by the Magistrate cannot
extend the retention period beyond the 30 day period. If the Magistrate grants an extension for a period ending before the end of the 30 day period the police may make one further application to extend the retention period but not beyond the 30 day retention period.
- The person to whom the application relates must be given the opportunity to make oral or written representations to the Magistrate in relation to the application. The person is entitled to be legally represented at the hearing. An adjournment may be granted by the Magistrate to enable the person to obtain legal representation. The adjournment must be to a date before the end of the 30 day period, and the retention of the travel documents must also be extended until that date.
- The Magistrate may exercise discretion to exclude the person to whom the application relates and their legal representative from any part of the court hearing. Any application to invite the Magistrate to exclude must be made to him or her only where it is considered that disclosure of matters referred to in that part of the hearing to the person or his legal representatives would damage national security. In addition, the police may apply to the Magistrate for an order to withhold specified information from the individual or their legal representative. To make this order, the Magistrate must be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that if the specified information were disclosed:
- evidence of an offence under the Terrorism (Jersey) Law 2002 would be interfered with or harmed;
- the recovery of property obtained as a result of an offence under the Terrorism (Jersey) Law 2002 would be hindered;
- the recovery of property in respect of which a forfeiture order could be made under the Terrorism (Jersey) Law 2002 would be hindered;
- the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of a person who is suspected of being a terrorist would be made more difficult as a result of the person being alerted;
- the prevention of an act of terrorism would be made more difficult as a result of a person being alerted;
- the gathering of information about the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism would be interfered with;
- a person would be interfered with or physically injured; or
viii. national security would be put at risk.
- Where an application is made to withhold such information from the person, the Magistrate must exclude the person and his or her legal representatives from the hearing of that application.
- If the Magistrate does not grant an extension of the retention period, the travel documents must be returned no later than the expiry of the retention period.
Restrictions on repeated use of the powers against the same person
- If the power is exercised against the same person more than twice in any six month period, on the third occasion (and on any subsequent occasion in that six month period), then the retention period is limited to five days, instead of 14 days, beginning from 00.00 hours on the day after the travel documents were taken. To extend retention beyond this period, a senior police officer of at least the rank of Chief Inspector must apply to the Magistrate under the same procedure as that outlined above. A further extension (of up to 30 days) may only be granted where the Magistrate is satisfied that the relevant persons are acting diligently and expeditiously in relation to the matters referred to at paragraph 47 of the code and there are circumstances justifying the further use of the power in relation to the same person.
- The power is not meant to be used as a long term disruption tool but as a means to enable the police to take immediate action to disrupt travel while investigations are undertaken into whether an alternative disruptive action would be appropriate. It would be highly unusual for the power to be exercised in such quick succession against the same individual in a six month period. There must be exceptional circumstances justifying the further use of this power in relation to the same person.
Notification requirements
- A police officer or designated JCIS officer exercising a power to take possession of travel documents or to search for travel documents must inform the person subject to the exercise of those powers that:
- the person is suspected of intending to leave Jersey for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands, and
- the police officer or designated JCIS officer is therefore entitled under Schedule 1 to the Counter Terrorism and Security Act to exercise the power to take possession of these documents.
- A police officer or designated JCIS officer is entitled to retain travel documents that have come into his or her possession under Schedule 1 while an application for authorisation is considered by a senior officer. Where the officer is retaining the documents pending authorisation, and the officer does not expect the authorisation to be dealt with immediately, the officer must additionally inform the person that:
- the person is suspected of intending to leave Jersey for the purposes of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands (if the person has not already been informed of this during exercise of powers referred to above); and
- the police officer or designated JCIS officer is therefore entitled under Schedule 1 to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act to retain the document while the matter is considered by a senior police officer (authorising officer).
- A JCIS officer (whether designated or not) may be directed by a police officer to pass travel documents which are already lawfully in the officer's possession to a police officer. The JCIS officer must tell the person that the person's travel documents have been passed to the police because he or she is suspected of intending to leave Jersey for the purpose of involvement in terrorism-related activity outside the British Islands, and that the police are holding the person's documents whilst consideration is given to whether the documents should be retained. This does not apply if the JCIS officer expects the police to deal with the application for authorisation immediately.
- Where authorisation is granted, the police officer or designated JCIS officer must inform the person that authorisation from a senior police officer has been given to retain their travel documents and that this means that the documents may be retained for up to 14 days while any of the following takes place:
- while consideration is given to canceling the person's passport (in the case of a British passport);
- while consideration is given to charging the person with an offence;
- while consideration is given to making the person subject to any order or measure to be made or imposed by a court, or by the Minister for purposes connected with protecting members of the public from a risk of terrorism; or
- while steps are taken to carry out any of these measures.
- The individual must also be informed that the travel documents cannot be retained beyond 14 days, beginning 00.00 the day after the documents were seized, unless the retention period is extended by the Magistrate, in which case the documents cannot be retained for more than 30 days in total; and that the travel documents must be returned once the 14 day period (or extended period) expires, or if the above conditions no longer apply, whichever comes first.
Written notification
- Where authorisation has been granted by a senior police officer, the officer (whether a police officer or a designated JCIS officer) in possession of the travel documents must issue a written notice at port informing the individual that his or her travel documents are being retained under Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 to the Counter Terrorism and Security Act 2015. The notice should:
- provide a case reference number;
- state the date and time at when the documents first came into possession of the officer (whether
or not by means of exercise of Schedule 1 powers);
- inform the person that his or her travel documents are being retained under Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015;
- inform the person that if he or she is a foreign national who requires leave to enter or remain in Jersey and is already in possession of valid leave that:
- he or she would remain on those leave conditions unless/until action is taken to review
that leave status under immigration law, or that

- provide contact details to enable the individual to contact the police regarding the retention of their travel documents;
- advise that the documents may be retained by the police for up to 14 days (or 30 if extended by the Magistrate) and that the retention period begins at 00.00 on the day after the day on which documents are seized;
- explain that the person's documents will be securely stored;
viii. inform the person that, where the police are in possession of the person's address, they will, if
appropriate, return the documents to him or her by secure post, or advise of how to make alternative arrangements to collect the travel documents;
- provide information about where this Code of Practice can be accessed;
- provide information about how an individual can make a complaint;
- confirm that the individual has a right to legal representation at any court hearing to extend the period of retention;
- inform the person that they may write to the police at a given address to request reasons for the retention of their travel documents and the police must provide a response within 42 days. This notice should inform the person that they will not be provided with any information that might prejudice national security; and

This will enable a person to understand why the person is under investigation and in turn to consider whether the case is being considered diligently and expeditiously.

It must confirm the person's right to make written or oral representations to the Magistrate and his or her entitlement to legal representation.
Written disclosure
- A police officer exercising the power to retain documents under Schedule 1 must issue the person subject to the exercise of this power with reasons for its exercise in their case if requested. The reasons must be as full as possible but without prejudicing national security. Accordingly, the police officer must very carefully consider the level of detail provided. A case-by-case assessment should take place to consider what information can be disclosed to an individual without damaging national
security. 18
Monitoring of the use of the power
- The police must monitor the use of this power and should consider in particular whether there is any evidence that it is being exercised on the basis of stereotyped images or inappropriate generalisations. Consideration should be given to whether the records reveal any trends or patterns which give cause for concern, and if so take appropriate action to address this. Monitoring records should, where
possible, include:
- Age;
- Disability;
- Gender;
- Race;
- Religion and Beliefs; and
- Sexuality.
Return of travel documents
- The individual should have been informed at the point of retention that his or her travel documents will be returned by secure post (if appropriate). If alternative arrangements are necessary, the individual should be informed of these arrangements as required.
