The Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner of South Wales Police have today confirmed the appointment of two new Assistant Chief Constables to the force.
Chief Superintendent Nikki Holland from Merseyside Police and Chief Superintendent Jon Stratford from Avon and Somerset Police will complete the uniformed senior management team at the force when they start in their new roles.
Their appointments follow a rigorous selection process and come at a time when a number of assistant chief constable roles are being advertised nationally.
Chief Constable Peter Vaughan said he was pleased that both had chosen to move to South Wales, “I am very pleased to welcome both Nikki and Jon to South Wales Police,” he said.
“They bring valuable skills and a positive approach to our force and both have an excellent understanding of how to deliver high quality community based policing.
“They have been appointed following a testing and rigorous process during which they demonstrated their personal qualities with distinction. I look forward to them joining my team and working with me to keep South Wales safe.”
Commissioner Alun Michael commented: “I am delighted that we have been able to secure the services of two experienced officers with track records of success in policing major cities.
“Also, that they complete a very strong senior team in South Wales to serve the public and continue the good work that has been done in recent times.”
