Any offence against discipline not arising from a complaint made by a member of the public in which the police officer accused is of the rank of Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner may be inquired into and dealt with by the Governor.
The Governor shall have the power to impose any one or more of the following punishments —
reprimand;
severe reprimand;
a fine not exceeding ten days' pay;
reduction in rank or seniority; and
discharge, that is immediate termination of service and of membership of the Service.
A Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner shall not be convicted of an offence against discipline unless the charge has been read and inquired into in that police officer's presence and that police officer has been given sufficient opportunity to make that police officer's defence to the charge.
A Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner or Assistant Commissioner upon whom a punishment is inflicted which entitles that police officer to appeal under section 101 shall, at the time when such punishment is imposed, be informed of that police officer's right of appeal.
