Counselling, Warnings and Opportunity to Improve

A superior observing shortcomings must bring them to the officer's attention through counselling, mentoring or coaching and record the intervention. Before removal proceedings for general inefficiency, the officer must have received three or more previous written warnings or suffered loss/deferment of the last increment and have been given ample opportunity to improve within one year.
