Regulation 6 adds provision for the reckoning of service of a person who served in the National Crime Squad or National Criminal Intelligence Service and from there joined the Serious Organised Crime Agency (“SOCA”) on its creation, before joining or rejoining a police force.
Regulation 7 adds provision in relation to the entitlement of such a person, and of a person who rejoins a police force following medical retirement, to a replacement allowance under the 2003 Regulations.
