These prospective members will still be able to reapply and gain a seat in future, subject to them meeting this requirement. | |||
* '''Existing council member'''s are appointed on the understanding that they are subject to PNC spot checks by LSPS or NCA before each meeting. | |||
** Members that are found to have criminal convictions will, on a case-by-case basis, have their seat withdrawn until 2 months from the date of their last 'serious'''[1]'' conviction when they are re-eligible to serve. | |||
''[1] For clarification, a 'serious' conviction is ordinarily one which is deemed an indictable offence, or an offence which warrants imprisonment. However please note these will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis or if contentious by the vote of the Chief Superintendent, NCA Director General and Council Chairperson.'' | |||
