73.2. Where the abolition or reduction in size of the police force is authorized, the Minister shall establish, where expedient, a reclassification committee to examine the possibility of integrating the police officers concerned into another police force or of finding them other employment within the municipality. The abolition or reduction in size of the police force has effect from the date determined by the committee in its recommendations, or on the date occurring six months after the date on which the committee is established, whichever is sooner.

If no reclassification committee is established, the abolition or reduction in size of the police force becomes effective on the date determined by the Minister.

The reclassification committee is to consist of six members appointed by the Minister, including two members from the Ministère de la Sécurité publique and the Ministère des Affaires municipales, des Régions et de l’Occupation du territoire respectively, the other members being chosen, in equal numbers, from the organizations representing municipalities and the associations representing police officers. Where the abolition of the police force of a municipality is followed by an agreement under which the Sûreté du Québec is to provide police services in the municipality, two additional members of the committee must represent the administration of the Sûreté du Québec and the association representing its members, respectively.
