Former officers

Former officers and notice of intention to retire or resign

The Policing and Crime Act 2017 extended disciplinary procedures to former officers following an allegation or complaint made against an officer following their departure from policing and also allowed officers under investigation to resign or retire while proceedings continued to a conclusion.

The Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020, the Policing (Complaints and Misconduct) Regulations and the Police (Appeals) Tribunal Rules 2020 includes provisions on the handling of complaints and conduct matters in relation to persons who have ceased to serve in the police since the time of the conduct in question.
