Article 10: Appointment of constables with special policing skills
15.Article 10 reintroduces Section 23 of the Police (NI) Act 2003 which had lapsed. This provides for the appointment of constables who have a specified policing skill, for instance the recruitment of experienced detective constables from other police forces. In this regard, the Article also allows derogation for these appointments from the normal police trainee recruitment process.
