The Northern Ireland Policing Board has today opened applications for the role of Chief Constable for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
Policing Board Chair Deirdre Toner said:
"This position carries significant leadership, operational and representative responsibilities and the Board is looking for an exceptional, experienced leader for this crucial position. This role is high profile, demanding, and often fast paced.
The future Chief Constable of PSNI will require the requisite strategic thinking and ability to develop and deliver organisational and operational plans in the short, medium and longer term with the support of the Service Executive Team, and with relevant partners, agencies and stakeholders.
The future trust and confidence in policing will be influenced by the style of leadership you bring to the PSNI. Being the Chief Constable of the PSNI is regarded as one of the most fulfilling national policing leadership roles.
If you think you have the experience, commitment, and capability to lead the PSNI, I hope you will apply."
The closing date for applications is 12 noon, Monday 16 October 2023.
Ends.
