13 Reckoning of service for purposes of awards
1 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Regulations, for the purposes of calculating all awards payable to or in respect of a police officer under these Regulations, the total service which may be reckoned as pensionable service by such an officer shall not exceed 35 years.
2 For the purpose of calculating an award payable to or in respect of a police officer by reference to any period in years (including a period of pensionable service)—
(a) that period shall be reckoned in completed years and a fraction of a year;
(b) a part of a year shall be taken to be that fraction of a year whereof the denominator is 365 and the numerator is the number of completed days in that part and, accordingly, a part of a year which includes 29th February in a leap year and comprises 365 days shall be treated as a whole year.
