8  Suspension from duties
  For the purposes of paragraph 40J(1)(a) of the Act, the Commissioner may, in writing, suspend an AFP employee from duties:
 (a) if the Commissioner believes on reasonable grounds that the AFP employee:
 (i) has, or may have, engaged in conduct that contravenes the AFP professional standards; or
 (ii) has, or may have, engaged in corrupt conduct; or
 (b) to allow the employee to contest an election to a non‑parliamentary body; or
 (c) if both of the following apply:
 (i) the AFP employee is charged with having committed a summary or indictable offence against a law of the Commonwealth, a State, a Territory or another country;
 (ii) the Commissioner believes on reasonable grounds that, because of the nature of the offence, the employee should not continue to perform the employee's duties until the charge has been resolved.
