Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations (which extend to England and Wales) replace the Police Regulations 1995 as amended by the regulations specified in Part 1 of Schedule 4 (“the 1995 Regulations”). The amendments, other than drafting amendments, made by these Regulations are as follows.
Regulations 11 (appointment of senior officers), 12 (probationary service), 14 (retirement), 22 (duty), 25 (overtime), 26 (public holidays and rest days), 27 (temporary salary and temporary promotion), 28 (sick pay), 29 (maternity pay), 30 (fixing of pay day and calculation of pay), 32 (university scholars), 33 (leave), 34 (allowances), 35 (expenses) and 45 (uniform and equipment) provide for the determination by the Secretary of State of certain matters prescribed by the 1995 Regulations. Such determinations, together with determinations under regulation 24 (pay), are subject to the provisions of regulation 46.
Regulation 33 makes new provision for parental and adoption leave and for time off for dependants, and replaces provision in the 1995 Regulations for paternity leave with provision for maternity support leave.
Regulations 8, 23 and 71 of the 1995 Regulations (which provided for the division of police areas into beats, sections and divisions, and for work which is not to be performed by members of police forces and made temporary provision about deputy chief constables) are not reproduced.
