"Who Wants To Be A Chief Constable?"
So Judith Gillespie, faced by a half million pound question, didn't phone a friend, didn't take 50/50, and didn't pick either A, B, C or D. Instead the Deputy Chief Constable stunned colleagues by picking P.S. N.I. over her potential Patten severance pay out.
She has a "glass ceiling award" on her desk for breaking through as a senior woman officer. However, as things stand, she still can't apply for any future vacancy as Chief Constable because the Policing Board rules state that any candidate must have served as an Assistant Chief Constable or equivalent in another force for at least 2 years.
So either DCC Gillespie will have to spend some time away, or maybe the Policing Board should change the rule to its own 50/50...either spend time elsewhere or demonstrate your committment by turning down half a million quid.
