Asked if the Prime Minister would be making an announcement on paedophiles, the PMOS replied that the Prime Minister would announce that in the coming months we would introduce a new power for police to enter and search a registered sex offender’s home for the purpose of assessing the risk they posed to the community.
For example, a police officer that saw a child’s bike outside the house of a registered sex offender might be able to go in and search for further evidence that would allow them to reassess the risk posed by that offender. Where it could be demonstrated that the offender posed a risk of serious sexual harm, the police could then apply for a preventative order, or decide whether it was necessary to alert others to the presence of the offender. Formerly police had to have a "reasonable belief" that a crime had been committed in order to apply for a warrant. This announcement was therefore a refinement of that ability. Asked to clarify that police would no longer need a warrant, the PMOS replied that that was correct.
