(a)The Reserve office is a branch of the Superintendent's office, which is concerned mainly with matters connected with the equipment, discipline and general management of the whole force of each district, and should ordinarily be located in the police lines.(b)The Superintendent himself (or in the heavier districts, the Additional Superintendent) shall deal with all questions relating to transfers, leave and promotion. The duty of the Reserve office staff should be confined to laying the different registers before the Superintendent or officer to whom the management of reserve work has been delegated, while the selection of the names of officers to be transferred, promoted or granted leave shall rest with the latter officer, who will invariably record his orders in the registers concerned.
