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 Quick Reference Guide is aimed mainly at local Federation secretaries and other reps dealing with pay and conditions queries raised locally.
