This week I travelled to Surrey Police HQ in Guildford to have the privilege of interviewing Chief Constable Tim De Meyer. Tim has had a long and varied policing career, joining Surrey Police as Chief in early 2023. In this exclusive interview, he provides valuable learning and many pointers for aspiring police leaders everywhere.

Tim was generous with his time, answering a variety of questions thoroughly and candidly for nearly an hour. He talks on the various leadership ranks, his 'disclosure' NPCC portfolio lead subject, investigation quality, Surrey's policing plans, and much more.

I'd like to thank Craig again for sparing some time from his busy schedule. I'll be posting a write-up on my policepromotion.blog soon, but for now, grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the show! As with all my exclusive and insightful interviews, this episode is ENTIRELY FREE for all, all the time.

This free episode is inspired by a recent email message from a Sergeant aspiring to be Inspector. He has an uncertainty as to where to start. As with many others, he describes the CVF as "overwhelming" and is "trying to get his head around it".

This is a case of Groundhog day for me and one reason why Rank Success exists to support officers. I share in this episode my response, along with supportive insights and tips if you're in a similar position. Tried and tested materials from my site offer not just the way through, but the opportunity to SMASH your promotion.
