Leicestershire PCC Begins Search for New Chief Constable
Following the announcement of Chief Constable Rob Nixon's retirement after a 32-year career, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Rupert Matthews has initiated the search for a new leader for Leicestershire Police.
Mr. Matthews expressed his gratitude to Mr. Nixon for his dedicated service, stating, "On behalf of all our communities, I would like to thank Mr. Nixon for his longstanding commitment to policing and community safety in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland." He acknowledged Mr. Nixon's successful career and his decision to step down from his leadership role.
"This is a significant development for the force," Mr. Matthews emphasised. "Finding a worthy successor who can effectively lead Leicestershire Police and fulfill the objectives outlined in my Police and Crime Plan is crucial."
Mr. Matthews outlined the qualities he seeks in the new Chief Constable: "I am looking for a strong and courageous leader with the skills and determination to build upon the existing positive work, enhance public trust and confidence in policing, and effectively combat crime. Mr. Nixon leaves behind a significant legacy, and filling his shoes will be a considerable challenge."
The search for the new Chief Constable is now underway.
