The Police Pensions Regulations 2006

Former members of a Scottish police force or the Police Service of Northern Ireland

95.—(1) This regulation applies in the case of a regular police officer who has been a member of a police force within the meaning of the Police (Scotland) Act 1967(1)(“a Scottish police force”) or of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

(2) Where such a regular police officer is entitled to reckon pensionable service by reason of service in a Scottish police force or the Police Service of Northern Ireland (in this regulation referred to as “his former force”) and—

(a) left his former force for the purpose of becoming a regular police officer in a home police force and joins that home police force in that capacity, or

(b) retired from or otherwise ceased to serve in his former force and subsequently joins a home police force at a time when no pension is in payment to him by reason of service in his former force,

then for the purposes of these Regulations, including in particular regulations 10, 11, 12, 13 and 94, anything done, by him or in his case, under or for the purposes of a provision of the Scottish pensions legislation or the Police Service of Northern Ireland pensions legislation which corresponds to a provision of these Regulations shall be treated as if it had been done under or for the purposes of that corresponding provision; and accordingly his pensionable service in his former force shall be reckonable as if it had been pensionable service in a home police force, subject, where applicable, to the making by the regular police officer concerned of an appropriate payment to the police authority for the relevant home police force, in accordance with regulation 13.
