The Scottish Police Authority has launched a recruitment campaign today, Friday 31 March 2023, seeking a new Chief Constable to lead the second largest police service in the UK.
Police Scotland’s current Chief Constable, Sir Iain Livingstone QPM announced his intention to retire in the summer of 2023 at a meeting of the Authority on 23 February.
The Authority is now advertising for an exceptional police leader who can build on the effectiveness, operational competence and achievements of Scotland’s police service while ensuring that it adapts to meet growing and increasingly complex challenges.
Martyn Evans, Chair of the Scottish Police Authority, who will lead a panel to appoint a new Chief Constable said:
“The Chief Constable of Police Scotland is one of the most significant policing roles in the UK.
“Ten years on from police reform we can look back on the last decade with conviction, knowing that efforts and challenges have delivered a service that is better than anything that preceded it. A solid foundation exists for that reform and improvement to continue.
“Police Scotland has a dedicated workforce and commands strong public support. The next Chief Constable must build on that support as the service continues to adapt to meet the needs of Scotland’s communities.”
The deadline for applications is Friday 28 April. The Authority expects to announce a successful candidate in June 2023.
