Phil Gormley QPM was appointed in December 2015 by the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) to succeed Sir Stephen House as Chief Constable of Police Scotland, and took up the post on 5 January 2016.[1]

On his first full day as Chief Constable, Gormley was reported to be in conflict with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon over the issue of routinely arming the Scottish Police.[2]

Early life

Gormley studied at the University of Gloucestershire, graduating in 1984. He later undertook postgraduate study at Cambridge University.[3]

Police career

In 1985, Gormley began his policing career as a constable with Thames Valley Police.[4] In 1999, he was promoted to superintendent and appointed commander with responsibility for the South Oxfordshire area.[5] In 2003, he joined the Metropolitan Police and was appointed Commander of Specialist Operations branch. In 2005, he organised the merger of the Anti-Terrorist branch and Special Branch into what would become the Counter Terrorism Command in 2006.[6]

From 2007 to 2010, Gormley was Deputy Chief Constable of West Midlands Police.[7] From March 2010 to May 2013, he was Chief Constable of Norfolk Constabulary.[8] He was the second highest paid Chief Constable in the United Kingdom with a salary of £260,000.[9] In May 2013, he was appointed Deputy Director of the newly created National Crime Agency (NCA).[10] In March 2015, it was announced that he would be leaving the NCA in the Autumn of 2015.[11] He stepped down in July 2015.[12]

On 2 December 2015, it was announced that Gormley would be the next Chief Constable of Police Scotland, succeeding Sir Stephen House. He beat two of the Deputy Chief Constables for Police Scotland to the job: Neil Richardson, the Designated Deputy for Chief Constable; and, Iain Livingstone, the Deputy Chief Constable (crime and operational support). He took up the appointment on 5 January 2016,[13] and will be paid £212,280.

Honours

In the 2013 New Year Honours, Gormely was awarded the Queen's Police Medal (QPM) in recognition of his service as Chief Constable of Norfolk Police.[14]
