Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) Staff
2. The staff officers are serving police officers seconded by selection to the Inspectorate for up to 3 years. The Inspectorate provides a demanding developmental role for seconded officers and of necessity the calibre of those seconded must be high. The extended attachment of individual officers is another mechanism to develop officers and enhance the capacity of HMIC. I am extremely grateful to the chief officers in Scotland who nominate and subsequently release experienced officers to enable me to carry forward the work of the Inspectorate.
