SPCOP Code F relates to which of the following?

• A. Visual recordings with sound of interviews with suspects
• B. Audio recording of interviews with suspects
• C. Practice for the statutory power of arrest by SP
• D. Statuary powers of stop and search

Answer: (A)

Code F is about recording interviews with suspects using video with audio. The visual component provides a complete, verifiable record of what happened—the words spoken and the manner, expressions, and context in which they were spoken. This strengthens accuracy, fairness, and evidential value in court and during review. Audio-only recording, while related, falls under a different provision, and the other choices relate to arrest powers or stop-and-search, which are outside the scope of recording interviews. So the description of visual recordings with sound of interviews with suspects best matches what Code F covers.
