E28 - Guests: Chief Constable Jo Shiner, Chief Constable of Sussex Police

Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

My guest this week is Chief Constable Jo Shiner, the ninth Chief Constable of Sussex Police and the first female officer to hold the role. Jo is a career police officer having served for over 30 years initially in Norfolk and Kent before moving to Sussex as the Deputy Chief Constable in late 2018. She was subsequently selected to be the Chief Constable in July 2020.
During her long career, Jo has carried out a very wide range of policing roles and has also held a number of national responsibilities. She is currently the national lead for roads policing, an issue very close to her own heart as she explains in the interview.
This was a fascinating interview as we cover not only a wide range of Jo's personal leadership experiences, but also touch on a lot of wider policing topics that I suspect you will find extremely interesting. I really hope you enjoy the session.
