These Regulations amend the Police (Discipline) Regulations 1985 to enable the Chief Constable to delegate the hearing of a disciplinary charge to an assistant chief constable designated to act in the absence of the Chief Constable under section 6 of the Police Act 1964. Under the 1985 Regulations the Chief Constable could delegate this function to the Deputy Chief Constable. This amendment is necessary due to the abolition of the rank of Deputy Chief Constable.
