Regulation 24(2) Police Regulations 2003

William Old made this Freedom of Information request to Norfolk Constabulary

The request was successful.

From: William Old

6 February 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

My enquiry relates to your force policy for the situation where an
officer has been “temporarily promoted” to a higher rank (i.e. is
not “acting-up”, thereby receiving a “temporary salary” as provided
for in Annex I to Regulation 27 of the Police Regulations 2003),
has in due course reverted to his or her substantive rank, and has
subsequently been promoted again (whether substantively or again
only temporarily).

My request is for:

(a) any force policy or procedure document from which it would be
determined whether such an officer’s salary would take account of
that previous period in the higher rank – in accordance with
Reg.24(2) – or would alternatively be re-started back at the lowest
salary scale point for the higher rank, at the commencement of each
and every period of service in that higher rank; and...

(b) any force policy or procedure document that reported,
considered or reviewed the implications of the decision in Gill v
Chief Constable of Merseyside [Liverpool County Court, judgement
given on 28 August 2007], in which unequivocal judgement was given
against Merseyside Police by HH Judge Platts because the latter
procedure (as referred to above) is unlawful and does not comply
with Regulation 24(2).

Yours faithfully,

William Old

Dear Freedom Of Information,

The "Temporary Promotions Policy" does not address the point in
issue (whether all periods of service in the higher rank are
aggregated and counted for pay purposes) but the second document
"Inputting Officers in Temp Promotion" confirms that Regulation
24(2) is indeed now properly complied with by the Norfolk
Constabulary, and I thank you for your comprehensive and helpful
response.

Yours sincerely,

William Old
