26. Certain complaints under the Police Regulation Act 1958 to be investigated
as public interest disclosures

If-

   (a)  the Ombudsman determines that a disclosure in relation to a member of
        the police force is a public interest disclosure; and

   (b)  the disclosure could constitute a complaint under the
        Police Regulation Act 1958-

then, despite anything to the contrary in Part IVA of the
Police Regulation Act 1958 or Part 3 of the Police Integrity Act 2008, the
subject-matter of the disclosure must be investigated under this Act instead
of under Part IVA of the Police Regulation Act 1958 or Part 3 of the
Police Integrity Act 2008.
