Whenever a member of the Force has shown exceptional zeal,intelligence or ability in the discharge of his police duties,or has shown exceptional courage,involving the risk of his life in the cause of humanity,or in the interests of the public,the case should be reported to head quarters.Such reports will be laid before a Reward Board composed of the superior officers of the Force,who will carefully weigh and consider the merits of each case and submit their opinion for the decision of the Inspector General. 1538.Favourable Records. Favourable Records granted by the Inspector General will be inserted in the half-yearly sheets and promulgated for the information of the Force.They should be recorded in the County Register and quoted in all forms when the case of the member of the Force in question is under notice.They should be duly considered when recommendations for promotion are made. 1539.First Class Favourable Records. Favourable Records of the first class are awarded only in cases where officers or men have shown,in the disharge of police duties,exceptional zeal,intelligence,or ability,exceeding that which is to be expected from zealous and efficient members of their rank with similar opportunities. Such records are invariably accompanied by grants from the Constabulary Force Fund. 1540.Second Class Favourable Records. Records of this class are awarded for acts of bravery,involving the risk of life in exertions to save life,or for other exceptionally courageous conduct,and they may be accompanied by pecuniary rewards. 1541.Third Class Favourable Records. Records of this class are awarded for the specially good performance of police duty, in cases where the zeal,intelligence or ability shown is not of the exceptional character essential for the grant of a First Class Record,but which exceeds that which is to be expected from zealous and efficient members of the rank of the persons concerned,with similar opportunities. These records may also be accompanied by grants from the Constabulary Force Fund. The County Inspector should not submit any recommendation for the consideration of the Reward Board under this section unless he is satisfied that the merits of the case would not be sufficiently met by the grant of a Local Record.(See section 1543.)

Posts: 99 21-Jan-2011 5:29 PM	1542.When a member of the Force has been awarded three Third Class Favourable Records under the forgoing section,for duty performed in the same rank,his case may be laid before the Reward Board with a view to having a First Class Favourable Record substituted for them. If the money grants which may have been awarded with the Third Class Favourable Records did not amount to £5,the Reward Board may,if they consider the case sufficiently meritorious,award an additional money grant,provided that in no case shall the total amount awarded with respect to such records exceed £5.This order will apply only to Third Class Records awarded for duty performed on and after 1st January,1911. 1543.Local Records.When a District Inspector considers that a man under his command has distinguished himself in the performance of good duty of the classes described in sections 1539 and 1541 of the code he shall make a statement of the particulars of such case to his County Inspector,who,after due inquiry and consideration,may,if he does not deem it to be a case for the Reward Board,grant to the man concerned a "Local Record." When three such records have been awarded to the same man his case may be submitted to headquarters for consideration by the Reward Board,who,if they see fit,may award a Record (3F.R.) and a money grant not exceeding £1. Three further "Local Records"will entitle him to have his case again considered with a view to his being awarded another such record (3F,R.),and upon his being granted by the County Inspector three additional "Local Records" his case may again laid before the Reward Board with a view to having the higher record (1F.R.) together with an additional money grant not exceeding £3,substituted for the two records(3F.R.) already granted and the third series of records locally granted.The substitution of a Third Class Favourable Record for three Local Records, or of a First Class Favourable Record for Third Class Records under this section,can only be sanctioned when the duty with respect to which the records were granted was performed in the same rank.

A local record should not be granted unless the County Inspector is satisfied that the member of the Force concerned has shown more then ordinary zeal,intelligence,or ability in the case.Otherwise, the record may be disallowed by the Reward Board. 1545. Medal. When a member of the Force in the performance of police duty displays pre-eminent valour and bravery,in addition to any other reward he may receive,a silver medal will be conferred on him,which is to be suspended by a light green ribbon.Holders of Constabulary medals will be designated in official reports by the word "Medal," after their name or signature.(See sections 1079-1083). 1546.Rules regarding recommendations for reward. No statements of their own cases by County Inspectors, District Inspectors or men are to be laid before the Reward Board. Should, however an officer decline to recommend an applicant for reward,and should the latter feel aggrieved thereby, he may submit through his usual channel a statement of his case for the consideration of the Inspector General. 1547. No application for a record is to be made until the case is finally disposed of by legal trial,&c.,and no such application will be entertained unless furnished within three months after disposal. If no legal proceedings are likely to be taken, the application should be made at the termination of the duty.

Before recommending any man for favourable record, the officer of the districtis first to make careful personal inquiry,ascertain the true facts of the case,and frame a report,setting forth the particular part taken by each of the party whom he considers deserving of reward. He is also to read for the party at the station to which the candidate for the record belongs, and to all others concerned in the case, his statement of the service performed,so that full publicity may be given to the facts of the report, and that no other deserving member may be deprived of his just reward. Where the candidate is a District Inspector, the County Inspector will take the opportunity on his inspection of making this inquiry.Unless the County Inspector( where a District Inspector is concerned) or District Inspector can certify on the file his having made this personal inquiry,&c.,as above directed, no recommendation for a record is to be submitted. Officers should be most careful not to allow the services of subordinates to be appropriated by their superiors for the purpose of obtaining records. 1549.County InspectorsRecords. Records favourable or otherwise will be awarded to County Inspectors according to the state in which the county force is found upon inspections by officers from head-quarters, and according to the discipline of sush force while under the command of the County Inspectors concerned. As every county and district head-quarter station is inspected biennially, the biennial report, whether of the county favourable or otherwise, will be taken along with that next previously made by a head-quarter offcer, and upon due consideration of both these reports together, and of the discipline of the county or counties under the County Inspector in command during previous three years, it will be decided whether the County Inspector shall be awared a record, favourable or otherwise. If, during the period of three years, any serious cases of indiscipline have occurred in the county which indicate a want of supervision on the part of the County Inspector, a favourable record will not be awarded, even though the inspection report be favourable.

This regulation will not prevent the County Inspector obtaining favourable records for efficiency in connexion with the detection of crime, which with records granted in accordance with the preceding paragraph,will all be considered together in the award of good service pay. 1551.Unfavourable Records And Fines. An "un favourable record" is an entry made in the General Register of a fine or other punishment inflicted by the Inspector General or one ordered to be recorded by him (See section 1206.) 1552. A fine inflicted by the Inspector General should be entered in the Register as an unfavourable record unless he directs that it should not be so recorded. 1553. In the case of a punishment or unfavourable decision of the Inspector General which is not to be regarded as an unfavourable record or to which reference during a limited period is ordered to be made,a memorandum of such is to neatly gummed to the edge of the leaf of the Register in which the man's name appears, which memorandum is to be detached therefrom when the period of reference has expired. Should the man be transferred to another county during such period of reference,the memorandum should accompany the Form 15 in order that it may be annexed to the Register of the new county during the unexpired period. 1554. In giving an unfavourable record the Inspector General may name any period during which it is to be inforce, but where the period is not so named, it will for disciplinary purposes not exceed five years.If a man has five years uninterrupted good conduct (i.e., without an unfavourable record appearing against him) no unfavourable record should be entered on Form No.25 in case he is then reported for a fresh offence, nor are any old records to militate against him in meting out the punishment for an offence committed after the lapse of such period of uninterrupted good conduct. In comparing however the merits of individual men in regard to promotion, the unfavourable records entered against each while in his present rank will be taken into consideration. 1555. When a man has been promoted, any unfavourable records he may have had recored ageinst him during his previous service shall cease to militate against his further advancement. 1556. Unfavourable records followed by continued good conduct shall,as a rule, have no effect upon pension or gratuity.

Posts: 107 25-Jan-2011 7:04 PM	1557. The fines of the County Inspectors should not be entered in the Register nor the admonitions of the Inspector General unless he shall direct to the contrary. 1558. Hue-and Cry. To encourage men to study more carefully the Hue-and-Cry, a reward of one pound will be paid for the arrest (when made solely from deseription) of each offender whose description shall appear in the Hue-and-Cry,save where the arrest shall be made by the men of the district from which the description shall have been received. this reward is not to be entered or quoted as a favourable record, but the fact of the men receiving it is not in any way to interfere with any claim they may have to a favourable record in such cases as come under sections 1539. 1559. Money Rewards. Rewards granted by the War Office, Admiralty, and those for the arrest of juvenile offenders from Industrial and Reformatory Schools,may be accepted on the authority of the County Inspector. 1560.Applications for Reward. Every member of the Force should understand that on retiring from the service with the usual pension or gratuity,or rewards, all claims on the establishment are thereby discharged, and that no subsequent claim for any increase of pension or any additional sum from the reward fund can be entertained. The proper time for putting forward claims for extraordinary services, if any such exist, is immediately after those services are performed; or if neglected at that time, the claims should not be deferred beyond the period of retiring from the service. 1561. Gratuities from Crown Solicitors to Head or other Constables. No Head or other Constable is to receive a gratuity from a crown solicitor for attendance at assizes,etc in charge of crown witnesses, or other duty, without the previous sanction of the Inspector General.
