The British Transport Police Authority is pleased to announce that Charlie Doyle has been appointed as Assistant Chief Constable role at the British Transport Police (BTP) with responsibility for the Public Contact and Specialist Crime portfolio.
With an impressive background in Neighbourhood Policing, Charlie became temporary ACC for Surrey’s neighbourhood portfolio in 2016, after reshaping the role of neighbourhood policing in the Force. He has also been both Divisional Commander and Superintendent Operations for North Surrey.
Charlie will join the Force on 19 September from Surrey Police, where he is currently Head of Transformation and Change at Surrey Police.
Mark Phillips, interim Chairman of the Authority, said “I am very pleased to announce Charlie Doyle’s appointment as the new Assistance Chief Constable at BTP. He brings a great deal of knowledge and experience from his 29 years at Surrey Police, and I am sure he will be an excellent addition to the senior officer team at the Force.”
Charlie said: “I am absolutely delighted to be taking up my new role at BTP – and hugely excited to be starting the next chapter of my policing career with you.
“Having served in Surrey for 29 years, I was only ever going to choose a role that I was particularly passionate about – and I couldn’t miss an opportunity to join such a specialist force at what is a critical time for frontline policing.”
Mark Phillips went on to thank Chief Superintendent Paul Brogden for his work as Temporary Assistant Chief Constable since March. Mark said, “I’d like to also take this opportunity to thank Paul Brogden for his excellent work as Temporary Assistant Chief Constable over the last six months, he has done an excellent job looking after the Public Contact and Specialist Crime portfolio.”
