166.Section 37 makes similar provision in relation to chief constables and the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to that made in section 16 in relation to police and crime commissioners and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, in other words provision allowing the appointment of a person to a post within the police force whether or not the person is already employed by the chief constable or the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (as the case may be).
