PROCEDURES FOR POLICE LICENCES

REGULATIONS

1st June, 2000

LEGAL NOTICE 93 of 2000.

The title of these Regulations is Procedures for Police

Licences Regulations.

In these Regulations, "licence" has the same meaning as is

given to in article 2 of the Police Licences Act.

In processing an application for a licence the

Commissioner of Police shall, where applicable, seek to request

and obtain the views of Government departments or agencies for

the purpose of ascertaining whether there is any objection on their

part to the application and for prescribing, where necessary, the

conditions under which such licences or anyone or more classes

thereof may be granted renewed, transferred or cancelled.

Government departments or agencies shall reply in writing

to the Commissioner of Police by not later than thirty days from the

date of receipt of such request by the Commissioner. In default,

such government departments or agencies shall be deemed not to

object to the application.

Government departments or agencies may in special

circumstances seek from the Commissioner of Police to obtain an

extension of the time limit referred to in regulation 4 and if the

Commissioner is satisfied that such request is justified he may

grant an extension of not more than thirty days, or such other

period of extension as he may deem necessary in particular cases

after consulting the Department or agency involved.

When an applicant for a licence fails to reply to a request

for information by the Commissioner of Police or by a government

department or agency or fails to comply with a condition imposed

by the Commissioner of Police or a government department or

government agency within a specified limit of time, his application

shall be considered as having been withdrawn and the

Commissioner of Police shall not in such circumstances take

further cognisance of the said application.
