Derry’s police commander is to leave the city next month to become Operational Support Assistant Chief Constable.
Chief Superintendent Stephen Martin.
Chief Superintendent Stephen Martin became PSNI Commander for G District – Magherafelt, Limavady, Foyle and Strabane – in June 2009.
Earlier this year, he completed a Strategic Command Course in Bramshill which prepared selected police officers for promotion to the most senior ranks in the service and resulted in him being able to apply for the post of Assistant Chief Constable.
The SDLP’s Thomas Conway, chairperson of Derry’s District Policing Partnership (DPP), paid tribute to CS Martin’s “hard work and professionalism.”
Cllr Conway said: “I’m sure that his positive and constructive working manner will continue to serve him well in his future career.”
Chief Superintendent Martin is to be succeeded as Derry commander by Superintendent Stephen Cargin who will fill the post on a temporary basis to February next when a permanent successor will be named.
