a further year for each completed year of such service after the four:

Provided that the additional period of pensionable service shall not exceed the shortest of the following periods, namely—

(i)

the period for which the person would have served as a member of a police force after the date of the loss or diminution had he continued so to serve until he attained the age of compulsory retirement,

his period of reckonable service, or

(iii)

fifteen years.
