EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations impose requirements on persons serving as Royal Parks constables for the purposes of establishing whether they are eligible to be employed by the Metropolitan Police Authority or to serve as Metropolitan Police constables when the Royal Parks Constabulary is abolished under section 161 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. The Secretary of State has power to terminate the Crown employment of any Royal Parks constables who fail to comply with any of these requirements, and the Regulations provide that constables shall not be eligible for compensation for early retirement or severance under the Civil Service Compensation Scheme if their Crown employment is terminated in this way. The Regulations also provide that constables who are eligible to serve as Metropolitan Police constables who do not wish to transfer to the Metropolitan Police shall not be eligible for compensation if their Crown employment is terminated by a transfer scheme.
