Police Service Administration Regulation 2016

This section applies if a position in the service was advertised under section 10.

The commissioner may readvertise the vacancy each time the commissioner considers no officer suitable to fill the vacancy has applied for appointment to the position in response to the previous advertisement of the vacancy under section 10 or this section.

Section 10 applies to the readvertisement, and who may apply for appointment to the position, as if the readvertisement were an advertisement to which section 10 applies.

If a vacancy is advertised under subsection (2), the commissioner may appoint to the position an officer who applied for the position, even if the officer failed to meet any stated criteria relevant to obtaining the appointment.

A person who failed to meet stated criteria relevant to obtaining appointment to a position but is appointed to the position under subsection (4) on promotion can hold the rank of the position only while in the position, unless the commissioner decides otherwise.
