THE Chief Constable of North Wales Police has asked to retire for a single day in January before being reappointed to her role - in order to protect her pension.

If approved by the North Wales Police and Crime Panel on Monday, December 15, Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman, who in 2023 was awarded the King’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service - will ‘retire’ on January 15, 2026 and be ‘rehired’ as Chief Constable of the force on January 17.

The odd sequence of events is perfectly legitimate under the national Retire and Rehire Scheme and will prevent the Chief Constable's pension pot from reducing in size.
