84A. Composition of disciplinary offences

Where a special police officer is alleged to have committed a disciplinary offence that is prescribed as a compoundable offence (called in this section a prescribed offence), the disciplinary officer may, instead of dealing with the special police officer under section 81 or 82 (as the case may be), refer the alleged offence to any police officer or public officer authorised by the Commissioner to compound offences (called in this section an authorised composition officer) for the composition of the offence under this section.

Subject to subsection (3), any authorised composition officer may compound a prescribed offence by collecting from a special police officer reasonably suspected of having committed the offence a sum not exceeding the lower of the following:

An authorised composition officer must not compound a prescribed offence reasonably suspected to have been committed by a special police officer who is in the same chain of command as the authorised composition officer.

On payment of the sum of money under subsection (2), no further proceedings are to be taken against that special police officer in respect of the prescribed offence.

All sums collected for the composition of a disciplinary offence under this Act must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
