The Police Service of Northern Ireland (Promotion) (Amendment) Regulations 2016
These Regulations amend the Police Service of Northern Ireland (Promotion) Regulations 2008 (“the 2008 Regulations”) to introduce the Constable to Inspector Fast Track Programme (“the Programme”). The amendments to regulation 4 of the 2008 Regulations have the effect of permitting constables and sergeants participating in the Programme to be promoted more quickly than if they were not participating in the Programme. The Schedule to the 2008 Regulations is also amended to permit constables and sergeants participating in the programme to take their qualifying assessments for promotion earlier than if they were not participating in the Programme.
