Section 24

Every police officer who by resignation, dismissal, discharge or otherwise leaves the Police Force, shall before leaving deliver up in good order (fair wear and tear only excepted) any arms, ammunition, accoutrement, uniform or other article supplied to him and any other property belonging to the Government which may be in his possession.

Any person neglecting so to deliver up such article or property shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $500 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months, and in addition thereto shall be liable to pay the value of the article or property not delivered up which value shall be ascertained in a summary manner, by the same court by which the person was convicted, where it shall be recoverable as a fine.
