Steve Jupp proposed for new Suffolk Chief Constable

Steve Jupp has been selected as Suffolk’s next Chief Constable. The appointment is expected to be confirmed by the Police and Crime Panel later this month.

Steve, who recently retired as the Constabulary’s Deputy Chief Constable joined Suffolk Constabulary in 2015 from Nottinghamshire Police where, in his role as Assistant Chief Constable, he was responsible for Crime Investigation and Reduction.

His policing career has had a particular focus on tackling serious and organised crime and has seen him occupy key senior posts including that of Detective Chief Superintendent at West Midlands Police. He has also served with the Metropolitan Police Service.

Steve is expected to take up his new role when the current Chief Constable, Gareth Wilson retires in April.
