Sir Ronnie Flanagan`s appointment extended
Sir Ronnie Flanagans appointment as HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary has been extended, the Home Office announced on Thursday, September 6.
Sir Ronnie Flanagan has been HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary since 1 February 2005. His one year extension means that he will remain in post until 31 January 2009.
Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, said:
I am pleased that Sir Ronnie Flanagan has agreed to stay on in this important role for a further year. His expertise and knowledge are invaluable in enabling Her Majestys Inspectorate of Constabulary to continue to deliver an efficient, independent and rigorous inspection programme.
This extension will ensure continuity in this crucial area during the year ahead as the police service continues its challenging reform programme and Sir Ronnie takes forward his independent review of policing.
