Police Act 1990

A member of NSW Police who is a non-executive commissioned police officer within the meaning of Part 6 immediately before the commencement of section 72A (Five year term appointments) is to be appointed under that section for a term of office of 5 years from the officer’s deemed appointment day.

An officer’s deemed appointment day is—

if the officer was a non-executive commissioned police officer immediately before the beginning of 1 January 1996—1 January 1996, or

if the officer became a non-executive commissioned police officer on or after 1 January 1996—the day on which the officer became a non-executive commissioned police officer.

If an officer’s projected date of retirement is before the end of the 5 year term provided for by subclause (1), the term of the appointment is to be (instead of 5 years) for the period up to that projected date of retirement or 12 months (whichever provides the longer term of office). An officer’s projected date of retirement is the officer’s projected date of retirement from NSW Police as determined by the Commissioner after consultation with the officer.

This clause does not apply to an officer to whom clause 32 applies.
