Released on undertaking
When a person is arrested or charged with an offence, they may be released from Police custody on undertaking. An undertaking is a signed promise to attend court on a given date and time and with certain conditions attached. Conditions may include not committing any further offences and not approaching any victims and witnesses. A breach of undertaking conditions is an offence and can lead to prosecution.
