    5  AND THE SWORN MEMBERS OF THE POLICE FORCE OF THE COUNTY OF SUFFOLK shall
    6  be  subject  to  the  following  procedure.  Where,  because of economy,

    9  in rank or salary grade, suspension or demotion, as  the  case  may  be,

   19  tionary employees the order of suspension or demotion  shall  be  deter-
   20  mined as if such employees were permanent incumbents.
