II DESIGNATED POLICE COMMANDER

 

There was submitted Agenda Note AN130-2014 advising the Committee that the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act required that a designated Police Commander be appointed for each Local Authority area in Scotland. Chief Superintendent Hamish Macpherson had recently been moved to a new role within Police Scotland and the post of Local Police Commander for Tayside had become vacant. The Chief Constable proposed to appoint Chief Superintendent Eddie Smith as the Local Commander for Dundee, Perth and Kinross and Angus.

 

The Committee confirmed its agreement to this nomination.
