Home Department written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 17 June 2011, Official Report, column 1009W, on police: termination of employment, what action a police officer leaving a police force can take if a police force refuses to issue them with a certificate showing (a) final rank and (b) period of service.
Failure to provide a person who ceases to be a member of a police force with a certificate showing his rank and period of service would be a breach of the Police Regulations. The regulations do not prescribe any sanction for a breach of this kind, but any unlawful act by a public authority is potentially susceptible to challenge by way of judicial review.
