A recordable offence should not be confused with a notifiable offence.

Legislation
The power for police to keep such records is contained in the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000. This states that a 'crime recordable offence' is an offence which must be recorded as a conviction on the PNC.
Recordable offences include any offence punishable by imprisonment, plus a number of non-imprisonable offences, such as:
- nuisance communications (phone calls, letters)
- tampering with motor vehicles
- firearms, air weapons, knives
- football offences
- causing harm or danger to children
- drunkenness
- poaching
- failing to provide a specimen of breath, and
- taking a pedal cycle without owner's consent
A full, lengthy, list of recordable offences is available, provided by ACPO as an Appendix to their Retention Guidelines for Nominal Records on the Police National Computer.[2]
Further police powers
Where a person has been arrested for a recordable offence, police may fingerprint and take non-intimate DNA samples from suspects without authorisation from senior ranks.[3]
