Another of Wullie's conspiracy theories bites the dust.POLICE CHIEF WANTED
Sunday Mail July 26, 2009
THE Government are ready to hire a civilian with no crime-fighting experience to run an under-fire Scottish police agency.
The Scottish Police Services Authority have advertised for a new chief to replace controversial David Mulhern. He left in April with a £90,000 payout after allegations of misconduct and mismanagement. The SPSA - dubbed Scotland's ninth force because of their power and responsibilities - have hired blue-chip London recruitment company Veredus to find the new boss. The advert placed on the SPSA website says: "Your considerable history of strategic management includes significant achievements at a senior level within a similarly large and complex organisation - in any sector."
The SPSA control police training, IT, forensics, fingerprints and buying of equipment, such as cars and uniforms, which were previously the responsibility of individual forces. They also control the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA), which targets major crime.
A spokesman for the SPSA yesterday confirmed that a civilian could get the new job. He said: "We have hired Veredus, who have experience of recruitment across the UK, to find the best possible person for the job. Whoever gets the job could come from outside the police service and does not need operational police experience. "The final decision will be made by the SPSA board."
Mulhern was a former deputy chief constable with Central Scotland Police when he took up the newly created post two years ago on a salary of £113,892. He left following an acrimonious six-month legal battle during which he was suspended from duty.
At the moment, the SPSA is being run by Mulhern's former deputy, Jo Brigham, who is a civil servant with no operational police experience. With a staff of more than 1600, the authority is bigger than four of Scotland's eight forces.
In the past, the SPSA have been accused of bureacratic(sic) interference by police chiefs. Last year, Graeme Pearson quit as head of SCDEA after claiming they strangled his organisation with red tape. And Ricky Gray, former deputy chief constable of Strathclyde Police, retired last year, also citing interference from the SPSA.
A Sunday Mail investigation showed the SPSA spent £924,437 in its first year on private firms to advise on training, management, computers, advertising and public relations. The cost of consultants over the next six months was £809,848 - double the rate of spending in the first year. A further £273,798 was spent in the three months before the SPSA was formed, bringing the total to more than £2million.
He simply didn't know where to look!
