Regulation 8 Punishment without hearing charges

If the senior police member admits that he has committed an offence, the appropriate authority may impose a punishment in accordance with regulation 20 without the case being dealt with in accordance with regulations 9 to 19.

Notwithstanding that the senior police member admits that he has committed an offence, the appropriate authority may, after considering the report of the investigation, deal with the matter according to the appropriate authority’s discretion if they are satisfied that it does not justify the imposition of any punishment under these Regulations.
