Staffordshire Police Temporary Chief Constable

Do you have the commitment, experience and skill to lead the delivery of exceptional policing services for our communities across Staffordshire?

Staffordshire is a comparatively safe place and Staffordshire Police is an excellent and committed organisation that has made considerable progress in the last few years. HMICFRS has recognised improvements across the force since it discharged it from ‘Engage’ last year. A new Policing Plan is in place which strongly reflects the priorities set out in the Commissioner’s Police & Crime Plan 2024- 2028 and seeks to continue the force’s ‘journey to outstanding’.

The Commissioner is looking for an excellent leader who has experience operating at Chief Constable or Deputy Chief Constable level, can clearly demonstrate they have the capability to do the job of Temporary Chief Constable in Staffordshire, and can hit the ground running, providing leadership, grip and direction for the organisation.
