Cleveland Police Authority to Appoint New Chairman
Part of the letter:
Following a recent meeting between the Authority, HMIC and the Head of Operation Sacristy, I have become aware of what could be perceived as a potential conflict of interest for me if I were to continue in my role as Chair or a Member of CPA.
Therefore I have decided that I should stand down from the Authority with immediate effect.
