Police Act 1990

If the Commissioner considers it to be in the interests of the NSW Police Force to do so, the Commissioner may transfer a non-executive police officer from one non-executive police officer position to another non-executive police officer position or non-executive administrative employee position.

Such a transfer may be made if—

the position to which the officer is transferred entitles its holder to the same level of remuneration as the officer’s former remuneration, or

the position to which the officer is transferred entitles its holder to a lower level of remuneration than the officer’s former remuneration and—

the officer consents to the transfer at the lower level of remuneration, or

the officer requested the transfer or the transfer is made pursuant to an order under section 173, or

the officer concerned is being transferred from the rank of superintendent to which the officer is permanently appointed to another position within that rank—regardless of whether the position to which the officer is transferred entitles its holder to a remuneration that is the same as or different from the officer’s former remuneration.

An officer transferred under subsection (2) (c) is entitled, for the balance of the term for which the officer holds office pursuant to section 74, to the same level of remuneration in respect of the new position as the officer’s former remuneration if the position to which the officer is transferred ordinarily entitles its holder to a level of remuneration that is lower than the officer’s former remuneration (unless the officer requested the transfer or it was made pursuant to an order under section 173).

A transfer under this section may be made only if the officer possesses the qualifications determined by the Commissioner for the other position.

The transfer under this section of a police officer to a non-executive administrative employee position may not be made without the approval of the police officer.

Section 66 does not apply to a transfer under this section.
