Explanatory note

These Regulations amend Regulation 5 of the Police Cadets Regulations 1979 so as to provide that, in the case of the metropolitan police force, the chief officer’s power to terminate a police cadet’s service is also exercisable by an assistant commissioner of police and the function of personally interviewing a cadet prior to such termination (currently exercisable by the chief officer or an assistant commissioner of police) is also exercisable by a deputy commissioner of police or a commander. The reference to the City of London police force, which no longer has police cadets, is omitted.
