JANETTE McCormick, currently acting deputy Chief Constable of Cheshire Police, has been appointed Deputy Chief Constable and will take up the appointment on Monday.
The appointment has been announced by Chief Constable Simon Byrne.
Ms McCormick said: “I thoroughly enjoy working with such an excellent team of officers and staff who are fully committed to serving the public of Cheshire. I am delighted and proud to be selected so that I can continue to help lead that team.”
The former Greater Manchester Police officer moved to Cheshire as Assistant Chief Constable in 2010.
She is currently the national police spokesperson for Gypsies and Irish Traveller issues, and regional lead for Public Order and Operational Communications, and is an assessor for the Strategic Public Order Command (which trains all specialist officers in this field).
She has been a strategic public order and firearms commander since 2008, and has completed the Gold Incident Commanders Course.
For the past three years she has chaired Cheshire’s Local Resilience Forum which brings emergency and voluntary responders together, such as the Local Authorities, Health, Fire, Highway and Utilities, to plan and respond to emergencies and test plans in relation to the county’s many industrial sites. In this capacity, she led the planning for Olympic events across the county in 2012.
Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: “I am really pleased that Janette has been appointed and I am very confident that she will make a significant contribution to delivering outstanding policing for the communities of Cheshire.”
