47. Service to be reckoned for pension



(1) The service of a member of the force for the purposes of this Division
(including service during any period declared by regulations to be a period of
probationary service) shall be subject to such deductions in respect of
sickness misconduct or neglect of duty as may be made therefrom in pursuance
of any regulations, not exceeding the period during which he is absent from
duty on account of sickness misconduct or neglect of duty (as the case may
be).

(2) The expression approved service shall, for the purposes of this Division,
mean such service as may, after such deductions as aforesaid (if any), be
certified by the Chief Commissioner to have been diligent and faithful service
and, in the case of a member of the police force who having been a member of
the land sea or air forces of any part of the Queen's dominions joined the
police force within a period of twelve months from the date of his discharge
from such forces, shall include his war service.

(3) Where a deduction is made from the service of a member of the force in
respect of sickness misconduct or neglect of duty, notice of the deduction
shall be given to him as soon as may be after the occurrence of the cause for
which the deduction is made; and he may appeal to the Chief Commissioner
against any act of any superior officer which prevents him from reckoning any
period of actual service as approved service and any period of actual service
allowed by the Chief Commissioner on such appeal shall be deemed to be
approved service.

(4) For the purposes of this section war service means service with the land
sea or air forces of any part of the Queen's dominions during the war which
commenced in the year One thousand nine hundred and fourteen or during the war
which commenced in the year One thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine or any
continuation thereof.
