The Service Police (Complaints etc.) Regulations 2023

These Regulations provide the statutory framework and detailed rules in accordance with which the Service Police Complaints Commissioner (“the Commissioner”), established under section 365BA of the Armed Forces Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”), has oversight of service police conduct and of complaints and other matters relating to the conduct of a member of each service police force including the four Provost Marshals. They broadly correspond to the provisions set out in and made under Part 2 of, and Schedule 3 to, the Police Reform Act 2002 (“the 2002 Act”) that apply to persons serving with the police in England and Wales, with modifications where necessary to reflect differences between the service police and the territorial police.
