Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton approved for 2024 secondment at DOJ.

Deputy Chief Constable Mark Hamilton of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is set to take up a secondment away from the organisation for the remainder of 2024. He has been absent from work since a medical procedure in September. The secondment will involve work with Stormont's Department of Justice and the National Police Chiefs' Council, with the two employers part-funding his salary during the 10-month period. The move comes after the Police Federation passed a vote of no confidence in Hamilton for his handling of a high-profile incident on Belfast's Ormeau Road that led to disciplinary action against two junior officers, which was later ruled unlawful by a High Court judge.
