To note – figures at point 5 include 2 officers in 2018 that are not counted in point 6. They were probationers and dismissed through Reg.13. This is not a dismissal under the misconduct regulations. Also there are 3 officers in 2018 in point 6 that are not included in point 5. People Services records show them as resigned but in a change of regulations they would have been dismissed.
