Supplementary Regulations for the granting
of Police Pensions.
(To be annexed Regulations)
Rule 4 of the aforesaid
I shall, however, be in the discretion of the Governor-in-Council to grant a special rate of pension
to any Member of the Police Force who may be compelled to quit the Public Service by
reason of severe bodily injury
occasioned without his
fault,
in the discharge of his public duty.
In every such case
the amount of pension shall be made
to vary partly
in proportion to the number of years served by the injured
officer,
and partly in proportion to the severity of the injury. The portion of the pension
based on length of service shall be calculated at the rate of 1/60th of the
salary and emoluments of the sufferer at the time when the injury was received.
