(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which further amend the Police Regulations 1987 ("the principal Regulations"), introduce new pay arrangements for members of police forces.
The former scales of pay for the various ranks, which were set out in Tables in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations, were based almost entirely on length of service in the rank. The new paragraph 1(1) to (1I) substituted for paragraph 1(1) by regulation 3(1)(a) of these Regulations provides for the assimilation from the former scales on that basis, but at increased rates, on 1st September 1994 (the effective date of this new provision), of the pay of officers serving in a rank immediately before that date. It also provides for the initial pay of officers appointed in a rank after 31st August 1994, and for the pay progression after that date of both kinds of officer. This new provision retains a basic element of length of service, but in the case of chief superintendents, superintendents, chief inspectors and inspectors the chief officer of police is enabled to assign individual officers to a higher pay category than they would have attained on that basis.
Related amendments are made by regulations 2 and 3(1)(b) to (e) and (3), and the former provision as to constables' pay (paragraph 2 of Schedule 5 to the principal Regulations, replaced by new provision in paragraph 1) is revoked by regulation 3(2).
Regulation 4 increases the rates of dog-handler's allowance.
Regulation 5 revokes regulation 10 of the Police (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1994 ("the No. 2 Regulations"), which failed to take account of a previous amendment to regulation 53 of the principal Regulations and had no effect, and the related saving provision in paragraph 8 of Part II of the Schedule to the No. 2 Regulations which was ineffective for the same reason.
The amendments to the principal Regulations have effect as from 1st September 1994: retrospection is authorised by section 33(4) of he Police Act 1964.
1964 c. 48; section 33 was amended by the Police and Magistrates' Courts Act 1994 (c. 29), section 18, and those amendments (except new section 33(3)) have been brought into force by S.I. 1994/2025.
S.I. 1994/2195.
