Joint Assistant Chief Constable Charlie Hall

Charlie Hall joined Norfolk Constabulary in 1992 on the accelerated promotion scheme after having graduated from Cambridge University with a first class honours degree in Natural Sciences.

He started his career in Norwich and has served in a variety of mainly uniform roles but has also served as a CID officer and worked in various roles at police headquarters.

He was promoted to Inspector at Great Yarmouth in October 1998 where he led the formation of the new Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership and introduction to the town’s CCTV system before leading the local policing sector.

Programme management and diversity roles within headquarters followed before returning to Great Yarmouth as the Operations Superintendent in 2004.

In September 2005, as acting Chief Superintendent, he became the Commander for the Eastern Policing Area, covering the Borough of Great Yarmouth, Broadland and North Norfolk, gaining substantive promotion the following year. This role included leading the force in the introduction of neighbourhood policing.

In September 2007, he returned to headquarters to lead the Organisational Development Team in designing and later implementing the Norfolk Policing Model, helping to transform policing services in Norfolk.  Later, he led the delivery of Operation Quest to improve intelligence, crime management and incident attendance processes whilst realising significant cash savings.

In 2009, he was promoted to the rank of Assistant Chief Constable, initially taking responsibility for the HR portfolio and since April 2010 working across both Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies to lead, build and implement the extensive programme of collaboration between the two forces. This programme is one of the most advanced in the Country, joining up Protective Services, Operational Support and business support functions with the aim of delivering around £20m in cash savings over four years.

ACC Hall was recently appointed the joint lead for Protective Services in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Charlie completed a degree in Management, with distinction from DeMontfort University in 2007 and in 2009 graduated from the Strategic Command Course, held at the Police Staff College, Bramshill.

He was born and raised in North Norfolk where his family still resides, and has two daughters.
