Regulation 87 Chief officers of police affected by alterations in police areas
This paragraph applies in the case of a chief officer of police who becomes or has become a member of another home police force (“the successor force”) by virtue of an order such as is mentioned in regulation 86(1).
In relation to a member of a police force to whom paragraph (1) applies and who suffers loss of office as such which is attributable to such an order, these Regulations shall apply as though he had—
where he has not attained the age of 55 years on the date when the order takes effect, ceased to serve as a regular police officer on that date, or,
where he has attained the age of 55 years on the date when the order takes effect, retired from the successor force on that date, having given to the police authority the required period of written notice of his intention to retire.
