24 The Authority may take further action without a hearing if registered member or probationary member is found guilty of offence
If—
a registered member or a probationary member is found guilty of an offence that is punishable by a term of imprisonment; and
the finding of guilt is likely to harm the operation or reputation of the Service; and
the Authority receives a certified copy of a court record confirming the finding of guilt; and
the Authority believes that it is in the best interests of the Service that it takes action against the registered member or the probationary member as a result of the finding of guilt—
the Authority may, without conducting a hearing, take one or more of the further actions referred to in regulation 21(2).
The Authority must give written notice to the registered member or the probationary member of the action to be taken and the reasons for taking that action within 14 days after the date of the decision made under subregulation (1).
If the Authority takes further action in accordance with regulation 21(2)(f) to suspend the membership of a registered member or a probationary member, the member must, on being given notice of the suspension under subregulation (2), comply with regulation 39 as if the membership of the registered member or the probationary member was cancelled.
