EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 inserted provisions into section 42 of, and paragraph 2(1C) of Schedule 8 to, the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. These provisions amended existing provisions relating to the appointment of chief officers of police forces in order to make it possible for those who had been or were serving in approved overseas police forces, and in approved ranks in those forces, to be appointed as chief officers in police forces in England and Wales. These Regulations designate various overseas forces and ranks in those forces as approved forces and ranks.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
