Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Police Authority Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/630) to widen the circumstances in which a police authority need not advertise for new independent members. Under the 2008 Regulations there is no requirement to advertise if a selection panel decides to nominate candidates who have previously applied, there are at least twice as many candidates as appointments to be made, and the vacancy occurs less than two years after an advertisement was last published. These Regulations increase that maximum period from two to four years.
