Federation extends best wishes to Chief Constable

The Police Federation for Northern Ireland extends warmest wishes to the PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton on the announcement of his decision to retire at the end of June.

Chairman of the Police Federation for NI, Mark Lindsay, said: "Mr Hamilton has given sterling service as Chief Constable at a time when budgets have been under pressure and there has been an unprecedented focus on legacy matters. His stewardship has been widely recognised and I'd like to wish Mr Hamilton well for the future. 

"There are several serious challenges in the immediate future such as what happens around Brexit at the end of March and the continuing ‘severe’ threat that is posed by dissident republicans. I know in the time remaining the Chief Constable will continue to give the direction and leadership that is needed."
