(1) Any constable of good character who has completed or is within six months of completing his period of enlistment may, with the approval of the Commissioner, re-engage to serve for subsequent periods of three years until he has completed a total of twenty-one years service reckoning from the time of his enlistment. A constable who so re-engages shall make before a Superior Police Officer the declaration set out in the Fourth Schedule.[Margin: Fourth Schedule.] (2) Upon completing such period of twenty-one years he may, if he so desires, and with the approval of the Commissioner, continue to serve in the Force for such extended period as may be approved in the same manner in all respects as if his term of service were still unexpired, except that it shall be lawful for him to claim his discharge at the expiration of three months after he has given notice to the Commissioner of his wish to be discharged. (3) If a constable offers to re-engage within six months [illegible]fter having received his discharge he will, if his offer of service [illegible]s accepted, on re-engagement be entitled to the rank which he was holding at the time of his discharge, provided that there is a vacancy in the establishment of that rank at the time he re-engages. (4) The Commissioner may at his discretion permit a constable to re-engage after a period of six months has elapsed since discharge and may, further in his discretion, reinstate such constable to the rank he held prior to discharge. (5) Any constable whose period of service expires during a state of war, insurrection, hostilities or local disturbances may be retained in service and such service may be prolonged for such period as the Minister may direct.
