Alan Speirs, a former Renfrewshire police area commander, has been recognized for his 36 years of service with the King's Police Medal.
A former Renfrewshire police area commander has been recognised in the King’s New Year Honours. Deputy chief constable Alan Speirs has received the King’s Police Medal (KPM) for his years of service after joining Strathclyde Police in 1988.
Alan has worked in a variety of roles throughout his 36 years police service including area commander for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde division, professionalism, governance and assurance, senior information risk owner (SIRO) and more recently deputy chief constable for people and professionalism. In August 2023, Alan took the role as temporary deputy chief constable for the then portfolio of professionalism, strategy and engagement prior to being promoted in post in February. Following former Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone’s acknowledgement of Police Scotland being institutionally discriminatory, Alan took responsibility of the activity within the new portfolio of ‘Policing Together’. Alan’s passion in ensuring the creation of an inclusive culture within policing was evident as he focused on introducing the standards of professional behaviour and the revamp of probationer training to equip all staff with the confidence to interact in a way that positively influenced not only their own behaviours but that of members of the public
