Q.
A.
To your knowledge is it correct that a system exists within
the Police Force of what I might call monitoring the
efficiency etc. of a Divisional Superintendent?
That is correct. Officers are subjected to reports, and
visits by senior officers to make assessments.
Is it also correct that usual term of duty of a Divisional
Superintendent is 2 years subject to slight changes?
This is sometimes true.
There are many variables.
It is
not invariably 2 years. Object is to keep officers for
as long as possible in post where they can be of best use
to ensure continuity.
Is there some between or accurate rule of thumb that it is
2 years?
