Royal Ulster Constabulary (Unsatisfactory Performance) Regulations 2000
These regulations make provision with respect to the assessment of the performance of members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve and establish procedures for cases in which a member who is not performing satisfactorily may be dealt with by way of requirement to resign, reduction in rank or warning. Parts II and III of the regulations make provision for interviewing members where it is considered that their performance is unsatisfactory and identifying areas of the performance which require improvement. Part IV makes provision for the holding of a hearing (called an unsatisfactory performance hearing) where it is considered that a member’s performance has not improved. If the chairman of the hearing finds that the member’s performance has been unsatisfactory he may require the member concerned to resign, order reduction in his rank or issue a warning. Part V makes provision for an appeal to the Chief Constable.
