Acting Chief Officer David Warcup.
THE search for a new police chief has started with the £130,000-a-year post being advertised in national police magazines.
The post has become vacant because acting police chief David Warcup decided not to accept the job on a permanent basis.
Advertised on a six-year contract basis, the job has been published in Police Professional and Police Review magazines and is also on the States of Jersey Police website.

Presumably the JEP want to sensationalise this and say that this is overpaid. I would rather pay a police chief this money than the over inflated wages paid to managers in offices because I feel policing is a worthy job. This is what keeps us all safe. That is important for my family. So yes that wage is deserved for the person in charge of our entire Police force.

Brian Napier should be reporting next month. Any future Chief should be looking at whathis findings are.
No matter what people think of Graham Power just look at what has happened.

The S.o.J.P. need a leader with excellent people skills, not someone who will kow tow and be a sycophant to the politicians and States bureaucrats. I hope and pray they get the right man or woman…..how about Barbara Wilding Q.P.M.?She started her police career as a police cadet in Jersey in the late 60s and knows the island and polcing system.

£130k seems a reasonable wage for a job of this difficulty and status. I hope we get someone good – regardless where they come from.

1960s, the uniformed Town police were not allowed across the St Ouen state line in those days.
I would imagine things would be bit different for her now.
Perhaps she would advocate bringing back Newgate st, now that really was a punishment.

PJG # 5. I was at St. Brelades Sub-Station in the late 60s and Centenier Downer was definitely the guy in charge…….I didn’t have a permit to go to St. Ouen.
Now you mention it, I wonder where all the granite stones went from Newgate Street?

BN @ 6. The granite stones from Newgate Street have all been preserved and are held at a secure site waiting to be re-used. Slightly off topic, but I hope you’re reassured!

The Napier report means nothing now, the truth of the matter is that the job was too much for Power and that was echoed all the way through Wiltshire.

You are only partly right.
Some went missing.
