It’s not every day you get sworn in as the Temporary Chief of Police for a force on the other side of the world.
But that’s what happened after RGP Chief Inspector Paul Chipolina took the helm at the Royal Falkland Islands Police last week.
CI Chipolina's deployment was authorised by the RGP’s Commissioner of Police Richard Ullger after a "Mutual Aid" request was received to cover the position until mid-November, whilst the current Temporary Chief of Police travelled to the United Kingdom.
The force is responsible for the British Overseas Territory of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands.
