Chief Constable Chris Noble Resigns Before Misconduct Tribunal

Chris Noble, Chief Constable of the force, has resigned with immediate effect, pre-empting a gross misconduct tribunal. Mr Noble had been suspended from his duties since August last year, with the tribunal set to examine allegations regarding his conduct.

The specific details of the misconduct allegations have not been publicly disclosed by the force. His resignation means the force will now focus on the selection of a new Chief Constable to lead the organisation.
