Policing Board appoints new Assistant Chief Constable
The Northern Ireland Policing Board has appointed a new Assistant Chief Constable for the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Chief Superintendent Peter Sheridan, who is a serving officer in the PSNI, was chosen from a total of eight shortlisted candidates interviewed earlier in the week.
Announcing the new appointment, Chairman of the Policing Board, Professor Desmond Rea, said: “We are delighted that Chief Superintendent Sheridan has accepted the appointment and will be joining the senior management team of the PSNI. The panel was faced with the challenging task of making a selection from candidates all with a depth and breadth of policing experience.
“Chief Superintendent Sheridan joins a dedicated senior management team who will be responsible for progressing the issues impacting on the policing agenda here.
“The Chief Constable is responsible for organising his senior management team, but I have no doubt that the new ACC will have many important issues to deal with and we are looking forward to working closely with him in the future.
Professor Rea added: “Assistant Chief Constables provide a key role in the delivery of the policing service here. The Board believes that it is important to have a strong senior management team in place to lead the PSNI forward and deal with key policing issues.”
