3. (1) Save in so far as the Commissioner may by order in writing
exempt any member therefrom, every member shall in each year of
service comply with the following requirements as to efficiency

as the Commissioner may from time to time by order direct.

(2) For the purposes of this regulation, every year shall be deemed
to commence on 1 April and expire on 31 March next following.

(3) Nothing in this regulation shall be construed to prevent a
member from volunteering, subject to the prior consent of the
Commissioner, for additional training.

4. Such clothing, equipment and weapons as the Commissioner
may direct shall be issued to members, but shall be and shall remain the
property of the Government.

5. Applications for enrolment in the Force by volunteers shall be
made in writing in the form prescribed in the Schedule and addressed to
the Commissioner.





6. (1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), a volunteer may
resign from the Force by giving to the Commissioner not less than 1
month's notice in writing of his intention to resign.

(2) If, at the time any such notice of intention to resign expires, the
volunteer by whom such notice was given is on active service, lie shall,
notwithstanding the expiration of such notice, continue to serve until
the order by which he was called out for active service is cancelled, and
any volunteer who fails so to continue to serve shall be guilty of an
offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of $1,000 and
to imprisonment for 12 months.

7. The resignation of a member, other than a volunteer, shall be
subject to the provisions of the Compulsory Service Ordinance.

dismissal, otherwise than under the provisions of regulation 11, within
12 months after enrolment, he shall, if so required by the Commissioner,
in addition to delivering up any clothing issued to him for the purpose
of his service in the Force, pay to the Commissioner the cost price to

be recoverable by the Commissioner upon complaint before a
magistrate.
