Explanatory Note.
(This Note in not part of the regulations, but is intended only to indicate their general purport).

Secondly, they apply the present penalty for failure to fulfi the training requirements in the year to failure to fulfil a quarter of these requirements in any quarter of the year; but members of 56 years of age or over are exempted from this provision.
Thirdly, they provide penalties for special constables who fail to apply themselves in their training, who do not obey orders or who fail to report for duty when called out on active service
