Originally posted by George Parr View PostRecordable offence (offences carrying a possible prison sentence) cautions are recorded in the Names File database of the Police National Computer (PNC) which is searched when CRB checks are carried out.
Crime Management, or Crime Recording Systems are usually Force (as opposed to national) level systems used to collate statistics and provide Home Office returns and intelligence patterns and may also contain such information.
I re-iterate that accepting a caution is a formal admission of guilt, it is not a a trivial matter (and should not be confused with a ticking off by Plod) and it may have consequences for your career.
Half the people that I worked with had cautions from the police and we could all see them in the CMS, it was the source of constant jokes, but they never appeared in our criminal history.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostTrue, the cautions go on a different system, usually called the crime management system. All a caution really is is a reminder to the police to do you if you have done your misdemeanor before.

Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostThat's codswollop mostly. Yes, you will have a criminal record, but unless you've been cautioned for assault / something violent it won't stop you from getting a shotgun cert.
Even if a person has not themselves been convicted of an offence for which they have served a term of imprisonment, convictions or cautions for crimes involving violence, dishonesty or a disregard for public safety will be taken into consideration in the assessment of their suitability to possess firearms, as will any association with known criminals.

If a person who has recently been cautioned for attempted Criminal Damage were to apply / re-apply for a Firearms Certificate this could be used as a reason to deny issue.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI can assure you that cautions do not appear on your criminal history. Seeing as I wrote the system I think I should know.

Likewise, very few offences preclude you from working with children forever.

Yes, it doesn't result in a criminal conviction but it does go on the police database (and the sex offenders register if applicable) so probably just as bad for most people.

Hmm...
This website seems to offer good advice.
Don't think I'd sign anything if I didn't agree with it...
We strongly recommend that you:
1. make "no comment" to all questions
2. don't write a statement
3. don't sign a statement written by the police
4. don't sign any police book

..but having accepted the caution means that you accepted that you were behaving in a way to warrant that caution.
