Well glad to see its all moving forward. Whoever takes the job certainly has their work cut out, but hopefully someone competent, self aware and invested will get the role.
I have to admit I wasn’t aware they outright advertised the job.
I guess we’re all going to be keeping a close eye on who gets the hot seat, and then how much they can do to cool it down.
They have to advertise it to pretend thr job has already been given to someone already.
>__Applicants must have served at the rank of constable in a UK police force__ and have held the rank of Assistant Chief Constable, Commander, or a more senior rank in a UK police force.
This is interesting. They want someone who started at the very bottom and worked their way up rather than “direct-entry” senior officers.
I heard they nearly went with the slogan “We’ll take any old dick.”
Might as well apply, I couldn’t do a worse job than the outgoing Dick!
