Deputy Warwickshire police commissioner quits less than a year into the job

THE deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, Rob Tromans, has quit less than a year into the job.

Mr Tromans only took the position in August last year and will leave with immediate effect for what have been described as ‘personal reasons’.

He worked for three days a week, and was paid pro rata on an annual £40,000-a-year salary.

He is also a Conservative member of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and one of two directors of a company named Robert Tromans Consulting Ltd, which is based in Nuneaton where he lives.

Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Seccombe, said no decision has been made to appoint a successor at this time.

“I have received a letter of resignation from the Deputy Commissioner, which I have now accepted.

“I’d like to thank Rob for his contribution to the office and his work to support me in the delivery of my Police and Crime Plan for Warwickshire.

“In the time that he has been my deputy he has represented me at a number of county forums, engaged effectively with partners and the public and has proved a loyal member of staff.

“I am sad at Rob' departure from the office but I wish him well for the future.”
