Regulation 5 Amendment of the Police Pensions Regulations 1987

the existing text becomes paragraph (1), and

after paragraph (1), insert—

“(2)

This paragraph applies to a regular policeman who is permanently disabled for the performance of the ordinary duties of a member of the police force but who, in accordance with a determination of the police authority in the circumstances of that officer’s case, continues to serve as such.

(3)

Where paragraph (2) applies, the police authority may consider, at such time as they may determine, whether the disablement has ceased, significantly worsened or significantly improved.

(4)

If, on any such consideration under paragraph (3), the police authority, having considered all the relevant circumstances, advice, guidance and information available to them, determine that the officer ought to retire on the ground that the officer is permanently disabled for the performance of the ordinary duties of a member of the police force, they must require that officer to retire under paragraph (1) (subject to the proviso of that paragraph).”.
