Advertisement for Assistant Chief Constable
British Transport Police Authority is looking for an Assistant Chief Constable to join the senior team of officers at the police force.
This is a policing job with a difference – working closely with the Rail Industry. The railways are expanding – more than 2.7 billion passenger journeys and 113 million tonnes of freight to be moved next year on the rail system throughout Great Britain including London Underground. The environment is operationally and commercially demanding.
We want an Assistant Chief Constable who can build on the excellent performance of others to achieve our ambitious objectives. A risk-based approach with the ability to exercise wide discretion in the use of police powers is required to keep the railways running, staff secure and passengers safe whilst preserving the integrity of the office of constable.
If you are ambitious and can show you have the ability to justify this, we want to hear from you.
