This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 5(1A) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998(1).
An application for an Order containing the provisions set out below has been made jointly by all persons who would be responsible authorities in relation to a combined area consisting of the local government areas of Forest Heath District Council, St Edmundsbury Borough Council and Mid Suffolk District Council.
The Secretary of State considers it would be in the interests of reducing crime and disorder and of combating the misuse of drugs to make such an Order.
Accordingly the Secretary of State makes the following Order.
1998 c.37: sub-section (1A) was inserted in section 5 by section 97(1) and (3) of the Police Reform Act 2002 (c.30). Section 5(1A) of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 has been amended by paragraph 2 of Schedule 9 to the Police and Justice Act 2006 (c.48) but that amendment is not yet in force.
