Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police (General) (Complaints) Regulations 1985 in consequence of the National Crime Squad being able to directly recruit officers below the rank of assistant chief constable. The provisions applicable to police officers in forces maintained under section 2 of the Police Act 1996 and the metropolitan police force and the City of London police are applied to members of the National Crime Squad.
Other changes are made to update statutory references.
