These Regulations amend the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/4) (“the Conduct Regulations”) and come into force immediately after the coming into force of those Regulations on 1st February 2020. Regulation 24 of the Conduct Regulations sets out the cases which the Director General of the Independent Office for Police Conduct can present in a misconduct hearing or an accelerated misconduct hearing. The amendment in regulation 2 of these Regulations enables the Director General to present a case where the Director General has given a direction to the appropriate authority under paragraph 27(4) of Schedule 3 to the Police Reform Act 2002 (c. 30) to give effect to the Director General's recommendation under paragraph 25(4C) of that Schedule to bring misconduct proceedings of a form specified.
