Senior policeman resigns

Thursday 23rd June 2011, 2:59PM BST.

ONE of Jersey’s most senior policemen has resigned – just two months after joining the States police from the UK.

Bernard Gravett was appointed as superintendent head of operations in April, having left a high-ranking job with the Metropolitan Police.

But it was yesterday confirmed that he has quit his post, which comes with a basic salary of between £90,000 and £110,000.

A States police spokeswoman confirmed that Mr Gravett had left the force for ‘personal reasons’ but declined to make further comment.
