Decisions

In March 2018, the Home Office introduced a requirement for Chief Officers to provide notification of their post-service employment within 12 months of them leaving the police service. This also placed a requirement on for Police and Crime Commissioners to review and approve the suitability of Chief Officers’ post-service employment. For transparency purposes, Police and Crime Commissioners are then required to publish details on their website.
