Chief Constable Recruitment
A project team has been established to provide dedicated resource to support the Chief Constable recruitment process, following Sir Iain Livingstone QPM’s announcement of his intention to retire in the summer. This is a major undertaking by the Authority with significant support provided by Police Scotland’s People and Development team and specialist support from the College of Policing.
The People Committee in September 2022 considered and approved a Senior Officer Recruitment Process that was based on lessons learned from previous recruitment’s including that of the current Chief Constable and which also took on board current best practice in the recruitment, selection and appointment of Senior Police Officers. We will be launching a recruitment process in the coming weeks.
