  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations further amend the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 so as to modify the calculation of pensions in cases where there has been part-time service (introduced by concurrent amendments to the Police Regulations 1987).\nThe definitions inserted by regulation 2 refer to the Police Regulations 1987 as amended. Part-time appointments may be made under regulation 8A of those Regulations; for ranks below superintendent, the “appropriate factor” is, by reference to the period covered by a duty roster, the number of hours the holder of such an appointment is required to work divided by the number of hours required of a full-time policeman; for higher ranks sharing duties, the factor is one half.\nRegulation 3 requires part-time service to be multiplied by that factor in reckoning pensionable service.\nRegulation 4 requires pay during part-time service to be scaled up to a full-time equivalent in calculating average pensionable pay.\nAn assumption of continuing service is one element in the calculation of a deferred pension. Regulation 5 requires continuing part-time service to be assumed where a policeman’s final service was part-time.",
