After that time, if favourably reported upon by the officer in charge of the district, they may be further employed on detective duties under the name of “Acting Detectives.” As such they will continue duty under a Senior Detective for a period of two years, and if their work gives satisfaction they may after the expiry of that time be appointed Detectives.
