AMENDMENT OF THE POLICE REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 4 of 1964

	Where a member of the Police Force has committed an offence against the provisions of Regulation 11 of the Police Regulations, sub-regulation (2.) of Regulation 11 empowers the Commissioner of Police to suspend a member of the Police Force while he refers the question of the dismissal of the member to the Minister.

	No provision is contained in the Regulations providing for payment of the suspended member during the period of suspension. The new Regulation will provide for the suspended member to be paid salary and allowances during the period of suspension unless the Commissioner of Police determines that he shall not be so paid.
