Removing Your Arrest Record from the PNC and Police Databases
Is your arrest record being treated as a safeguarding concern on your DBS or vetting checks? Whether the case was dropped, dismissed at court, based on false allegations, or even unlawfully carried out, the record is still kept on the PNC and often on local police systems.
The system doesn’t distinguish and the police can disclose the arrest if they believe it is “relevant”. On a DBS certificate, they all look the same and that single entry can quietly derail your future.
At Legisia, we challenge the retention of arrest records through the Record Deletion Process, prepare targeted deletion applications where the allegation was unproven, unsafe, or unjustified, helping you remove a label you never deserved.

Wipe Your Arrest Record Legally and Permanently
At Legisia, we focus on situations where the law and basic fairness support deletion of your record. We can review your papers and tell you honestly whether a deletion application is realistically worth pursuing.
- Arrests That Ended in No Further Action (NFA)
We show that a closed investigation serves no ongoing policing purpose and use the NPCC process to seek deletion from the PNC and linked local systems. - Arrests Where the Case Was Dropped Later
Whether charges were withdrawn or you were acquitted, we analyse the case outcome and argue that continued retention is misleading, unnecessary and disproportionate. - Arrests Based on False, Malicious, or Unfounded Allegations
We treat these like trial work: gathering statements, documents and timelines to demonstrate the allegation was baseless, then press for full deletion of the arrest record. - Arrests That Were Unlawful or Procedurally Flawed
Where there were no proper grounds or the arrest was unnecessary, we highlight PACE breaches and unfairness to build a strong case that the record should never have been kept. - Arrest Records Where Retention Is Unfair or Disproportionate
We rely on career impact, time since the incident and rehabilitation to argue that keeping the record breaches data protection, privacy and wider public interest principles.
