In making a treatment order, the court must—
sentence the offender to imprisonment for 4 years or less; and

state the period (the operational period ) during which the offender must not commit another offence if the offender is to avoid being dealt with under section 151O for the suspended sentence.
The matters stated in subsection (1) constitute the custodial part of the treatment order.
For subsection (1) (c) , the operational period—
starts on the day the order is made; and
