Regulations

Police officers are governed and protected by terms and conditions set out in law by Parliament known as Police Regulations.

We have produced a Quick Reference Guide in line with our current understanding of Police Regulations 2003 and determinations, Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020, Police (Complaints and Misconduct) Regulations 2020 and Police (Performance) Regulations 2020.

This summary of officers' main terms and conditions is not intended to be exhaustive, nor can it be considered a substitute for the original regulations and determinations which govern the terms and conditions of appointment. An updated version will be produced as and when regulations change, the most recent version is dated December 2023 and has been updated to recognise the pay award received this year. 

The is aimed mainly at local Federation reps dealing with pay and conditions queries raised locally, so if you have any queries, please get in touch with your local Fed Rep who can help you.
