Devon Chief Constable's job advertised at £151,000

Tony Hogg, the new Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall is looking for a new Chief Constable. Whoever lands the job wil take home a salary of £151,215 plus car and health cover. Mr Hogg says that the policing area presents very different challenges – large cities of Exeter and Plymouth, the longest coastline in England, a vast rural population and a significant number of summer visitors due to a buoyant tourism industry. He adds that policing needs to be delivered against a backdrop of reducing budgets, an increase in the volume and complexity of demands and a changing police landscape. Mr Hogg said: "As the first Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall I am seeking to appoint an individual who has excellent professional policing skills and experience who will offer high profile leadership and support to our many police officers, staff, and volunteers, who has strategic vision matched with the ability and determination to turn aspirations into practical delivery and who can work effectively with partners to bring together new and innovative approaches to reducing crime and improving safety and security for everyone. "I am determined to make a success of the PCC role and support our police forces. If you feel you would like to join me on this journey, please see the details below."
