Chief Constable motorcycle course

The request is waiting for clarification. If you are Ms S Conlan, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear North Wales Police,

It has come to my attention that the Chief Constable of North Wales has recently "approved" a motorcycle course for himself. This obviously involves some expense to the force and thereby the public. It has also come to my attention that the Chief Constable acquired not one, but two sets of motorcycle clothing, again at the expense of the North wales police. Other than the fact he is a motorcyclist himself and would probably enjoy tearing round the countryside on a motorcycle in preference to a days work, I would seriously question the operational requirement for him undertaking such a course. I would therefore ask the following questions;

1. Firstly, is it correct that he did in fact undertake such a course and, if so, what were the relevant dates/length of the course?

2. If the answer to 1 was "yes", what were the justifications of him taking the said course?

3. What were the cost implications of the course, to include the cost of the course itself and the Chief Constables wages whilst on the course?

4. What were the cost implications and justifications for the purchase of two sets of motorcycle equipment?

5. How many other Chief Constables in the UK and Northern Ireland forces have taken motorcycle courses?

Yours faithfully,

Ms S Conlan, Colwyn Bay.
