In this Order “employee” or “worker” does not include a person in police service.

“Police service” means service as a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary or the Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve, or, subject to paragraph (3), in any other capacity by virtue of which a person has the powers or privileges of a constable.

Service in the office of constable under Article 19 of the Airports (Northern Ireland) Order 1994F1 shall not be treated as police service for the purposes of this Article, and the holding of that office on any airport shall be treated for those purposes as work under a contract of employment with the airport operator.
