EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Part 2 of the Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2003 allows the Chief Constable to designate members of the police support staff (and employees of contractors) as officers who may carry out certain functions with certain police powers.

A person who applies for appointment to a post in the police support staff with a view to his being designated under Part 2 of that Act may be ruled unsuitable for appointment under these regulations.

Regulation 2 allows the Chief Constable to determine the matters which may be taken into account in deciding the suitability of applicants, but it also specifies the grounds on which a person is judged unsuitable for appointment because of criminal convictions, etc. Those grounds are the same as those used in the appointment of police trainees under the Police Trainee Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001.

Regulation 3 specifies business interests which make a person unsuitable for appointment.

Decisions as to the suitability of a person for appointment to a post in the police support staff are taken within the arrangements prescribed in the Police Service of Northern Ireland (Recruitment of Police Support Staff) Regulations 2002.
