Jo Shiner has been reappointed as the Chief Constable of Sussex Police until 2027.

Mrs Shiner has been chief constable in Sussex since June 2020 but retired on 31 August with plans to rejoin after a short break under the Retire and Rejoin scheme.

Her reappointment was recommended by Katy Bourne, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex.

Mrs Shiner answered questions from councillors as they met to ratify the decision last Friday.
