In any case where a police officer has, upon inquiry, been found to have committed an offence against discipline and where it appears to the police officer conducting the inquiry that, by reason of the gravity of the offence or by reason of previous offences or for any other reason, the offender would not be adequately punished by any of the punishments that police officer is empowered to impose, the police officer conducting the inquiry shall record any statement which the offender wishes to make in explanation or mitigation and shall stay the proceedings and transmit them to the Commissioner, and the Commissioner may impose such punishment as the Commissioner deems to be warranted or the Commissioner may direct that the case be dealt with by the police officer who transmitted it.
Where no statement in explanation or mitigation has been recorded, the Commissioner shall give the offender an opportunity of making representations to that Commissioner either orally or in writing as the Commissioner shall direct.
