(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes, with savings, the National Crime Squad (Senior Police Members) (Appeals) Order 1998.
The National Crime Squad can now directly recruit officers at all ranks and, as a consequence, disciplinary procedures for National Crime Squad officers have been brought into line with those applicable to officers in forces maintained under section 2 of the Police Act 1996 and the metropolitan police force and the City of London police.
