DR SORT relates to which Act?

DR SORT relates to which Act?

• A. Equality Act 2010
• B. Mental Health Act 1983
• C. Data Protection Act 2018
• D. Justice Act 2003

Answer: (D)

This item tests which piece of legislation a policing mnemonic is tied to. DR SORT is a memory aid used in Metropolitan Police training to help officers recall the provisions and procedures associated with the Justice Act 2003, especially around how decisions on detention, rights, and case progression should be handled. The mnemonic serves as a quick checklist to ensure actions align with statutory requirements, such as recording decisions accurately, safeguarding the detainee’s rights, and sticking to timeframes for processing cases. The other acts listed cover different areas—Equality Act 2010, Mental Health Act 1983, and Data Protection Act 2018—and have separate training prompts, so they wouldn’t be the source of DR SORT.
