Hi, today I was caught shoplifting in Debenhams, it was a bottle of perfume worth about £68. I’d left the store and plain clothes security stopped me and asked me to return the item and come back to the store. They took me to their office and asked for my details and ID which I showed them. They then called the police and gave them my details. I have no criminal record at all prior to this. After around 20 mins the security rang the police back (they were checking I didn’t have a warrant or wanted for any other crimes) and they advised them to deal with me via ‘operation Raptor’. I was then given a banning order signed by the manager and a letter saying the RLP will be in touch by a letter. If the police didn’t attend, Will this still be classed as a caution or show on a DBS? I am really worried I am going to lose my job over this moment of stupidity. Please help I can’t settle over worry, I can’t believe I’ve been so stupid!*

Hi
Don't understand how "operation raptor" has anything to do with a minor shoplifting incident.
All Police Forces record information, which may be referred to on a disclosure in the other relevant information section on an enhanced check. This is known as approved information. non-conviction information or police intelligence'
The decision to disclose or not is made by the Chief Police Officer of the relevant police force.Following the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, this decision-making process has two main guidance documents. These are the Statutory Disclosure Guidance, and the Quality Assurance Framework
This information is rarely disclosed, but if you are concerned you could make a Police subject Access Request and ask to see any local records held on you. You could also contact your local police force and ask to see a copy of their policy/process for dealing with whether to disclose information of this type.
What field do you operate in, and is this event relevant to your position?
You can ignore RLP and their rapacious demands
