Members of the National Police force are not allowed to have any visible piercings – including earrings, even for female officers – nor tattoos, hairstyles or makeup that are considered 'extravagant' or 'outrageous'.

Male officers cannot have beards and female officers must wear their hair tied back in a way that it does not fall below their shoulders.

All officers must salute their superiors and deliberate failure to do so can result in a four-day suspension of employment and pay.

Any consumption of alcohol, of any amount, on the job is totally forbidden.

National Police force members are expected to carry their truncheons 'in a natural manner' with their left arms extended and without closing their fingers around them.

They have a duty to salute and greet the public in the same way as they are expected to with their superiors.
