(a)the report, complaint or allegation indicates that the conduct of the designated person concerned is of a serious nature and that an imprisonable offence may have been committed by the designated person concerned; and
(b)the conduct is such that, were the case to be referred to a hearing under regulation 38 and the members of the panel conducting that hearing were to find that the conduct failed to meet the appropriate standard, they would in the opinion of the appropriate officer be likely to recommend the dismissal of the designated person concerned from his post in the police support staff; and
