of his office, interdict him from the exercise of those powers and functions.\r\n\r\n(2) A police officer shall not be interdicted unless the nature of the case renders it desirable that he should not

shall be restored to him when the final decision is made.\r\n\r\n(8) A police officer who is convicted of a criminal offence involving fraud, theft or dishonesty, or who is sentenced to imprisonment,

Inspector-General.\r\n\r\nRegulation 15—Referring Cases to Higher Authority.\r\n\r\nWhen it appears to a superior police officer that there is a prima facie case that any police officer serving under his command, and for whose discipline he is responsible has committed misconduct and—\r\n\r\n(a)  the extent of his disciplinary authority does not permit him to deal with the offender; or \r\n\r\n(b)  the circumstances are such that if the case were proved the punishment which he could impose would in his opinion be inadequate.\r\n\r\nhe shall if the service is in a Region, report the facts of the case to the senior police officer in charge of the Region for action by the Regional Board, and otherwise he shall report direct to the Inspector-General for action by the Central Board.\r\n\r\nRegulation 16—Action of Regional Board in a Case Referred.\r\n\r\nWhen a Regional Board receives a report under the provisions of regulation 15, it may, after considering the facts of the case take action as follows:— \r\n\r\n(a)  if in the opinion of the Board the superior police officer who submitted the report has adequate disciplinary authority to deal with the case the Board shall instruct him to deal with it accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(b)  if in the opinion of the Board the case is one which any other superior police officer should deal with by summary proceedings, the Board shall fix a suitable time and date for such proceedings and notify the superior police officer concerned accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(c)  if, after causing such preliminary investigation to be made as the Board shall consider necessary, the Board is of opinion that the case should be dealt with by formal proceedings the Board shall formulate charges against the defendant and nominate an officer to hear the case; or\r\n\r\n(d) if the Board is satisfied that the punishment which it could impose would be inadequate, or that it has insufficient disciplinary authority to deal with the case, it shall report the facts to the Central Board which shall formulate charges against the defendant and nominate an officer to hear the case; or\r\n\r\n(e) the officer on completion of the enquiry shall submit the record of proceedings together with his findings and recommendations as to punishment to the Central Board.\r\n\r\nRegulation 17—Action of Central Board in a Case Referred. \r\n\r\nWhen the Central Board receives a report from a Regional Board under the provisions of regulation 16, or receives the report of a superior police officer from the Inspector-General under the  provisions of regulation 15, it shall after considering the facts of  the case, take action as follows:—\r\n\r\n(a) if the Central Board is of opinion that the case is one which the Regional Board or superior police officer concerned has adequate disciplinary authority to deal with, it shall instruct the Regional Board or superior police officer to deal with the case accordingly; or \r\n\r\n(b)  if the Central Board is of opinion that the case is one which it should deal with by summary proceedings it shall fix a suitable date and time for such proceedings and notify the Regional Board or superior police officer concerned accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(c) if, after causing such preliminary investigation to be made as the Board shall consider necessary, the Board is of opinion that the case should be dealt with by formal proceedings the Board shall formulate charges against the defendant and proceed to hear the case.\r\n\r\nRegulation 18—Procedure for Imposition of  Penalties.\r\n\r\n(1) Where a Board or superior police officer has completed the hearing of proceedings, that disciplinary authority may impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate.\r\n\r\n(2) If after completing a hearing a Regional Board forms the view that the maximum penalty which it can impose is inadequate, it shall send the findings and other relevant documents to the Central Board which shall thereupon impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate. \r\n\r\n(3) If after completing a hearing a superior police officer forms the view that the maximum penalty which he can impose is inadequate, he shall send the findings and other relevant documents to the Regional Board which shall thereupon impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate.\r\n\r\nRegulation 19—Absence from Duty.\r\n\r\nNotwithstanding the provisions of regulation 9, where a police officer is absent from duty without leave or reasonable cause, and cannot be traced within a reasonable time, or if traced continues to absent himself, disciplinary proceedings against him may be conducted and the appropriate disciplinary authority may impose such penalty within its powers as it thinks fit upon him, notwithstanding that he does not attend such proceedings, or that he cannot be notified.\r\n\r\nRegulation 20—Removal for Unsatisfactory Service.\r\n\r\n(1)  Where the Inspector-General considers it necessary to institute proceedings against a police officer for his removal from the Force or reduction in rank on the ground of

police officer thinks proper by way of formal proceedings.\r\n\r\n(2)  The Board or superior police officer so directed shall allow the police officer concerned an opportunity to show cause why he should not be removed from the Force or otherwise dealt with, for unsatisfactory service.\r\n\r\n(3)  On the conclusion of its inquiry, the Board or the superior police officer shall take action as follows:—\r\n\r\n(a) if the Board or the  superior police officer, on completion of the inquiry, considers that the allegation of unsatisfactory service has not been substantiated the Board or the superior police officer shall record that finding and forward the record of proceedings together with any comments to the Inspector-General who may either accept that finding or substitute a finding of his own, or\r\n\r\n(b) if the Board or the superior police officer finds that the police officer concerned should be removed from the Force or reduced in rank on the ground of unsatisfactory service, the Board or the superior police officer shall forward the proceedings with any such recommendation to the Inspector-General for the imposition of such penalty; or\r\n\r\n(c) if the Board or the superior police officer finds that the allegation of unsatisfactory service has been substantiated but that the circumstances are not sufficiently serious to require the removal or reduction in rank of the police officer concerned, the Board or the superior police officer shall make such recommendation as is considered appropriate and forward the proceedings together with the recommendations to the Inspector- General for any action he may wish to take.\r\n\r\nRegulation 21—Institution of Criminal Proceedings.\r\n\r\nThe procedure for the institution of criminal proceedings against a member of the Force shall be as laid down in Police Force Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 22—Action on Conviction in Criminal Proceedings.\r\n\r\n(1)  Where a member of the Force is convicted of a criminal charge in any Court, the facts shall be reported to the Inspector-General who, if satisfied that the conviction has brought such a degree of disrepute on the Force as to warrant the dismissal or removal of the person so convicted, shall refer the matter to the appropriate disciplinary authority for the imposition of such penalty as the disciplinary authority may think fit.\r\n\r\n(2) The procedure for reporting cases and the method of dealing with such cases shall be as laid down in Police Force Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 23—Appeals.\r\n\r\n(1) Where a penalty is imposed on a

concerned.\r\n\r\n(4) An appeal shall be sent to the Police Council or Inspector-General of Police through the disciplinary authority who made the decision which is the subject of the appeal. The disciplinary authority shall attach to the appeal a copy of the record of the proceedings, the finding of the inquiry or investigation and all other relevant documents.\r\n\r\n(5) When a police officer is notified of a penalty imposed on him in disciplinary proceedings, he shall be informed that an appeal may be lodged with the Police Council or, as the case may be, with the Inspector-General of Police, within six weeks of such notification\r\n\r\n(6) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police on hearing an appeal under these Regulations may substitute a finding of their own for any finding appealed against and may allow or dismiss the appeal and shall have power to reduce, cancel, increase or alter any penalty imposed.\r\n\r\n(7) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police when considering an appeal under these Regulations may, after consultation with the Central Board, annul any proceedings brought under these Regulations whether or not those proceedings are completed.\r\n\r\n(8) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police when considering an appeal under these Regulations may before taking any action refer the proceedings back to the relevant Board or superior police officer for such further investigation and report as the Police Council or Inspector-General of Police may direct.\r\n\r\nPART III—GENERAL\r\n\r\nRegulation 24—Revocation.\r\n\r\nThe Police Service (Disciplinary Proceedings) Regulations, 1971 (L.I. 688) are hereby revoked.\r\n\r\nJ.H.

5—Supernumerary Police. \r\n\r\n(1) Subject to the approval of the Commissioner and where financial provision has been authorised by the Government, suitable persons may be enlisted in the Police

be laid down by the Inspector-General in Police Service Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 6—Special Constables. \r\n\r\n(1) Whenever it appears to the appointing authority that any riot or felony has taken place or may reasonably be apprehended in any place and that the normal establishment of the Service is not sufficient to maintain good order and to protect life and property in the area concerned, he may by writing in the form specified in the Fourth Schedule appoint any person residing in that area to act as a special constable in the Police Service within that area for such time as he considers necessary.\r\n\r\n(2) On appointment, a special constable shall take the Police Service Oath.\r\n\r\n(3) Whenever a special constable is called out or employed on active duty he shall be paid for his loss of time, and expense, such sum as the Inspector-General may deem sufficient out of funds provided by the Government.\r\n\r\nPART II—CONDITIONS OF SERVICE\r\n\r\nRegulation 7—Police

their previous seniority.\r\n\r\n(2) Seniority between police officers holding posts with different salary conditions shall be determined according to the salary conditions of the respective

restored, he shall restore the increment.\r\n\r\n(3) On restoration, the increment withheld shall be treated as stopped which means that the officer suffers the loss of the increment for the period between withholding and restoration but gains his previous incremental status and incremental date.\r\n\r\nRegulation 14—Payments of Allowances. \r\n\r\n(1) In certain branches of the Service the personnel employed, by nature of the special duties which they perform or the special skills or trades in which they have become proficient, shall be entitled to allowances in addition to their normal
