Regulation 14 Arrangements for the hearing before the tribunal

The police authority shall make all necessary arrangements for the hearing before the tribunal including fixing the time, date and place of the hearing.

When the accused has requested the assistance in presenting his case of a member of a police force other than his own, the police authority shall inform the chief constable of that other force of that request and of the time, date and place of the hearing.

The police authority shall give not less than 28 days notice to the accused and to his representative of the time, date and place of the hearing.

The police authority shall take all reasonable steps to secure the attendance at the hearing of witnesses required in connection with the case against the accused, and any witnesses whose attendance the accused has requested the police authority to take steps to secure.

Where the hearing arises out of a complaint by a member of the public, the police authority shall, if the accused has denied the charge or any part thereof, inform the complainer of the time, date and place of the hearing and shall draw the complainer’s attention to the provisions of regulation 19(2)(b) and (3).
