Clause 14

The Commissioner or a commanding officer may discharge any police officer below the rank of inspector who has less than 10 years’ service, whether such officer is serving on agreement or is under engagement to serve from month to month.

The Commissioner may, at any time, discharge a police officer below the rank of inspector with at least 10 years’ service if, in the opinion of the Commissioner, it is desirable in the public interest to do so.

Where a police officer has been discharged under this section, the Pensions Act (Cap. 225) or the Home Affairs Uniformed Services Superannuation Act (Cap. 126B), as the case may be, shall apply to the officer so far as any of its provisions or subsidiary legislation thereunder relate to the grant of any pension, gratuity, benefit or other allowance under that Act.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect or prejudice any power of dismissal from the Police Force conferred by or under this Act.
