Police — discipline — trial of member before a single officer — such member not having right to elect to be tried by a magistrate
? A member of the police force who is not an officer may be tried by a single officer for minor infractions of the Police Act [Chapter 11:10] and regulations made thereunder. Such an officer may impose a punishment of imprisonment for up to 14 days and a fine of up to level two. Such infractions are minor disciplinary measures in the police force and are not regarded as criminal offences. A member who is summoned for trial before a single officer does not have the right under s 32 of the Act to elect to be tried by a magistrate. The election provided for in that section only applies to trials before boards of officers and not trials before a single officer.
