Police chief is new law enforcement head

POLICE chief Patrick Rice will become the new single head of law enforcement, the Home Department has announced.

It will mean his current role and that of Guernsey Border Agency chief Rob Prow, the other candidate for the post, will be replaced by the overarching position.

Department minister Jonathan Le Tocq said he was sorry to lose Mr Prow after 43 years of service.

Mr Prow said he had been overwhelmed by the messages of support from within the public sector and the general public.

Mr Rice, pictured, was delighted at having been given the new opportunity and challenge.
