EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Police Service Regulation 1990 (clause 30) requires a police officer to report to a superior officer any misconduct (alleged to or believed by the reporting officer) of another officer. However, misconduct need not be reported if it has already been brought up in a complaint, in a trial, or in another clause 30 report.

The object of this Regulation is to provide that misconduct need not be reported also

in a case where it has already been reported to the Police Service Royal Commission.

This Regulation is made under section 181 (Regulations relating to discipline) and

section 219 (Regulations) of the Police Service Act 1990.
