(3) A member shall not demand from the person calling him as a witness, the payment of overtime.
Subject to subregulations (2) and (3), where the police have attended any premises in response to a false alarm on 3 occasions in a period of 28 days, an attendance fee of 200 revenue units shall, on each subsequent occasion on which they so attend the premises, be payable by the occupier of the premises or, if they are unoccupied, by their owner, and shall be recoverable as a debt due and payable to the Territory.
Where in the case of any premises a period of 90 days passes during which the police have not attended them in response to a false alarm, all previous occasions on which the police have attended the premises shall be disregarded for the purposes of subregulation (1).
A fee shall not become payable under subregulation (1) if the
Commissioner so decides in the circumstances of a particular case.
For the purposes of this regulation, the police are to be treated as attending premises in response to a false alarm where a member of the Police Force attends them in the course of his duty and in response to an alarm which was installed for the protection of the premises and was, in the opinion of the member responsible for the investigation of the incident, activated otherwise than by a person's unlawful conduct.

sporting or entertainment event means a sports or other event organised or promoted for the purpose of making a profit except where the Commissioner is satisfied that the whole of any profit is to be applied to a purpose that is charitable, benevolent, philanthropic or beneficial to the community.
support service means a police aircraft, a police car, a police horse, a police motorboat, a police motorcycle or a police van provided to enable a member to carry out duties in respect of a sports or entertainment event, but does not include a vehicle used only to transport a member to the area where the member will carry out those duties.
