POLICE AUTHORITY RE-APPOINTS MEMBER

Radlett resident, Brenda Griffiths, has been re-appointed as an Independent member of Hertfordshire Police Authority for a further four years.

Also appointed, as new Independent members, are Kevin McGetrick from Digswell, Bengie Walden from Harpenden and Sue Warman from Watford.

Chair of the Authority, Ian Laidlaw-Dickson, congratulated the members on their appointments. Ian said, “We had over 50 excellent applicants for the four vacancies, but I believe the people we appointed offer a wide mix of ability, skills and experience that will benefit the Authority enormously. On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to offer them my congratulations and look forward to working with them in the future”.

Brenda Griffiths, re-appointed Independent member and Vice Chair of the Authority, said “I am delighted to have been appointed for a further term which will give me the opportunity to build on and utilise my previous experience.  I look forward to continuing to work with colleagues on the Authority, in the Constabulary and in our communities to influence policing in Herts.  It is a privilege to be able to make a contribution to our safer communities in this way."        

Ian added, “Our thanks and best wishes go to our three existing Independent members and Magistrate member, who decided to stand down at the end of March. Peter Holland, Christine Adey, Simon Marlow and Robin Lipscombe have given sterling service to the Authority and have helped steer policing in Hertfordshire through periods of great change. We wish them well for the future, and their contribution and input will be greatly missed.”
