[No. 99

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in me by the hereuntobefore-in-part-recited Act, do hereby revoke the aforesaid regulation numbered fifty-nine, and do hereby make the following regulation in lieu thereof, namely:—

59. Vacancies in the Force will be filled from candidates selected by the Commissioner of Police, subject to the approval of the Minister having the control of the Department for the time being. The candidates selected must produce to the Commissioner of Police a certificate or other satisfactory evidence that they have passed the Fifth Standard examination prescribed under “The Education Act, 1904,” or some other examination of at least equal grade. They must be of unexceptionable moral character, of which satisfactory testimonials will be required. They must possess activity, intelligence, and good temper. They must not be less than twenty-one and not more than thirty years of age, but this age-limit is not to apply to members of the Permanent Militia who joined that Force before the 1st day of December, 1898, on the understanding that if found suitable they would be eligible for enrolment in the Police Force up to forty years of age. They must be not less than 5 ft. 9 in. in height, of good physique, and of a normal chest-measurement of not less than 38 in.; of good health, free from any bodily complaint, of sound constitution, and successfully vaccinated. Candidates, before appointment to the probationary class, will have to undergo a medical examination in order to ascertain whether they have health and strength to undertake the duties of a police constable, and must produce a certificate from a duly qualified medical practitioner named by the Department. If selected they will be drafted to a training depot in Wellington as probationers, and before being appointed police constables will have to undergo a further departmental examination as to their probable fitness to properly fulfil the duties required of them. Should it be found that they lack the necessary qualifications, they will be discharged from the depot without being appointed. Men who have previously served in the New Zealand or any other Police Force may, at the discretion of the Commissioner, be enrolled in the service and exempted from the depot training if not more than forty years of age.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this thirteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and five.
