Acting chief David Warcup has been put forward for the permanent position. STATES Members will be asked next month to approve the appointment of David Warcup as the next police chief, after Graham Power retires in July.Home Affairs Minister Ian Le Marquand is recommending to the States that Mr Warcup – who is currently acting police chief – should officially be given the job that he has been carrying out since Mr Power’s suspension in November 2008.
Under the Police Force Jersey Law, the debate – in which the States are being asked to agree that the appointment should be for five years, from 21 July – will not be open to the public or media.
Mr Warcup completed a 32-year career in the Northumbria police, most recently as deputy chief constable, before becoming the Island’s deputy police chief.
