New Forth Valley Divisional Commander - Chief Superintendent Roddy Irvine

Chief Superintendent Roddy Irvine has been appointed as the new Forth Valley Divisional Commander. 

With over 20 years policing experience in local and national roles, he has most recently returned from a secondment working with His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. 

Roddy’s policing career began in Strathclyde in 2003 and since then he has served the communities of Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire, Tayside and was Lanarkshire Divisional Commander for three years. 

In 2019, he was appointed Temporary Assistant Chief Constable with responsibility for Operational Change, Resilience and the update of Police Scotland’s core operating systems. 

Chief Superintendent Roddy Irvine said: “I’m proud and delighted to have been appointed as divisional commander for Forth Valley. This is an area which is close to my heart, having previously lived here for more than a decade. 

“It’s obvious to me that I am joining an effective and professional policing division with a long and proud history. 

“I would like to thank my predecessor Barry Blair for the work he has done for the communities of Forth Valley and wish him well in his new role.

“I’m very much looking forward to working with the officers and staff of Forth Valley Division, as well as local partners, to ensure we deliver the best possible policing service to keep people safe.”
