The Police Service of Northern Ireland has been rocked by a series of recent controversies.
Appointing a temporary chief constable to lead the Police Service of Northern Ireland risks leaving the force exposed to significant legal challenges, the chair of the Policing Board has told MPs.
Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton has assumed the responsibilities of police chief, although the Police Federation for Northern Ireland has passed a vote of no confidence in his leadership.Representatives of the Policing Board, the oversight body for the PSNI, answered questions on the leadership of the PSNI when the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee held a hearing at Stormont.
“In spite of significant commentary in this regard, this option was simply not one that was open to us.“The legal framework for appointing a person into that office is clear and we simply did not have the power to do it. “In light of the situation and the need within the leadership team we have in recent days advised the service that the current DCC could be asked to exercise his powers under section 34 to temporarily promote an existing ACC to the role of DCC.“Discussions are continuing in relation to these arrangements.”
