PSNI seeking new Assistant Chief Constable
The search is on for a new Assistant Chief Constable for the Police Service of Northern Ireland, it was announced today.
The Northern Ireland Policing Board is looking for a replacement for ACC Sam Kincaid who retires next February.
Senior officers – Superintendents or above – within the PSNI and other British forces can apply.
Senior officers from the Gardaí, or indeed any force worldwide, can also apply provided they have completed either the Strategic Command Course or Senior Command Course at the Bramshill police college.
It is known a number of Garda officers and others from further afield have done so.
An advertisement will be placed in the Police Review tomorrow and applications need to be returned by December 9, with interviews expected to start in late February.
The post could pay up to £92,829 (€137,944), plus what is described as an “attractive package” including annual allowances in the region of £12,000 (€17,832).
Policing Board chairman, Professor Sir Desmond Rea said: “The appointment of senior PSNI officers is an important responsibility of the board.
“In making this appointment the board will be looking for a candidate with the necessary skills and ability to join the Chief Constable and his senior officer team and build on the progress that has been completed in policing to date.”
