The Herald|December 17, 2024
DEVON and Cornwall Police have asked the Home Office for emergency funds to pay three salaries each costing around £180,000 a year, with the Police and Crime Commissioner's office saying she is 'hacked off' at criticism over her leadership.

Police chief asks for emergency funding

The force have suspended two Chief Constables since July 2023 and are seeking funding to pay the salaries of these suspended Chief Constables and the new interim Chief Constable James Vaughan, a total cost likely to be well in excess of £500,000.

According to The Telegraph the Chief Constable role commands a salary of roughly £180k a year, meaning it would cost at least £540,000 to pay for all three of them simultaneously, as Devon and Cornwall Police must do. The BBC has reported that former Chief Constable Will Kerr, currently under investigation, is on a salary of £197k, or £16,400 a month.
