# The Police (Conduct) (Amendment) Regulations 2003, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Police (Conduct) Regulations 1999 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 of the rank of chief superintendent or below in forces maintained under section 2 of the Police Act 1996 and the metropolitan police force and City of London police are applied to members of the National Crime Squad holding those ranks.
Consequential changes are also made to regulation 37 to reflect the reintroduction of the rank of deputy chief constable.
