Information about Section 30 dispersal orders

What is a Section 30 dispersal order?

A Section 30 dispersal order gives the police, within a specific area, the power to:

  • Break up groups of two or more people - of any age - who are causing, or are believed to be causing, antisocial behaviour
  • Ask people to leave the area, or send under 16s home
  • Arrest people who do not follow their instructions
