Regulation 52 Special procedure: duty to provide information to appropriate authority

In a case where the Commissioner or the person investigating has made a severity assessment under regulation 47, subject to paragraph (2), the person investigating must provide the appropriate authority with such information in that person’s possession as the authority may reasonably request for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (3).

Where the appropriate authority is the Provost Marshal for serious crime, the person investigating must provide the information for the purpose mentioned in paragraph (3), to the Provost Marshal of the service police force of which the person whose conduct is being investigated is a member.

The purpose is determining whether the person concerned should be, or should remain, suspended from serving as a service police officer.
