These Regulations make provision for payments to police officers who are permanently disabled as a result of an injury received without their own default in the execution of duty as a police officer or, where death results from such an injury, to surviving spouses or civil partners, children or other dependent relatives of the deceased officer. The Regulations revoke and re-enact provisions for that purpose in the Police Pensions Regulations 1987 and the Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987, and establish a scheme which is distinct from the provisions of the Police Pensions Regulations 1987, which continue in force in relation to contributory pensions payable to police officers or to others in relation to deceased police officers.
