Drugs Caution Deleted for Professional

Our client had been issued with a caution for possession of cocaine. The client had felt that he had always denied the allegation, but that he had been browbeaten into accepting the caution.

The client stated that he had been wrongly accused of being in possession of the cocaine, however in order to avoid being prosecuted, and to secure his quick release from the police station, he had accepted the caution.

At the time of accepting the caution the client did not anticipate having a career that would take him abroad. The client approached us as he wanted to move to the United States where his drugs caution would cause him serious difficulties in obtaining his Green Card. For details on travel to the United States please visit here: United States Waiver of Ineligibility & Criminal Records.

We gathered together the client’s file from the police, and after our review of the evidence, we were able to determine that the client had a case for deletion of his caution. We promptly drafted detailed legal representations and submitted these to the police.

Within a relatively brief period of time, the police agreed to the deletion of the caution, the PNC arrest record, and the client’s biometric data.

Subsequently we also applied for the deletion of the PND local records retained by the police; the police also agreed to delete these records.

We have extensive experience in applying for the deletion of police cautions in relation to many different police forces.

Along with applying for the deletion of police cautions, we are also able to assist with the deletion of PNC arrest records, community resolutions, harassment PINs, Penalty Notices for Disorder (PNDs), biometric data (including custody images) and local police records held on the Police National Database (PND).

Along with applying for the deletion of police records, we can also assist with challenging DBS disclosures on both standard and enhanced DBS certificates. Our lawyers also have extensive experience in challenging DBS barring decisions; both appealing existing barrings, or resisting a new barring application.

We can also assist with applying for the removal of online records, such as unfavourable news articles under the right to be forgotten (the right to erasure).

Also if you, or a loved one, has received a restraining order, we will be able to assist in its removal or amendment.

We are also able to help if you are being investigated by a regulator including the General Medical Council (GMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the General Optical Council (GOC), the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the General Dental Council (GDC), the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), and the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA).

In most cases we offer fixed fees, unfortunately we do not offer legal aid.
