The Police Federation said that Jon Boutcher has a “frightening in-tray”.
The new interim chief constable of the PSNI has said there is a “big list of things which need to be sorted” in the force.
“Northern Ireland is a unique operating environment for policing in the United Kingdom and everybody should be immensely proud of the PSNI and the commitment, professionalism and the bravery of its staff.” “There is a big list that we could go into about various things which need to be addressed and I will start tackling that next week.”
He added: “The in-tray that awaits him is frightening. He will have to tackle the fallout from the data breaches as well as the loss of trust and confidence from the Judicial Review which found that his predecessor and the current deputy chief constable acted unlawfully in the case of the two officers involved in the Ormeau Road incident.
The job advertisement for the temporary role said the successful candidate will be in the post for a minimum of three months, with the potential for further extension. The salary is £219,894 a year.
