@williammkydde your comments are again very misleading sorry to say. Here are the real facts: Judges are not political appointments - this isn’t the USA. In the United Kingdom, judges are appointed by the Monarch (the King or Queen) on the advice of the Prime Minister or the Lord Chancellor, depending on the level of the judiciary. However, the process is largely overseen by an independent body called the Judicial Appointments Commission (JAC), which was established to ensure the selection of judges is based on merit rather than political influence.
The JAC is responsible for selecting candidates for judicial office, who are then recommended to the Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor may accept or reject the recommendations, but the process is designed to minimize political interference.
For senior positions such as Justices of the Supreme Court, a separate selection commission is convened to make recommendations to the Lord Chancellor, who then forwards the names to the Prime Minister, who in turn advises the Monarch to make the appointment.
Concerning police superintendent I assume you meant Chief Constable. The PM does not appoint the Chief Constable. In the United Kingdom, the appointment of a Chief Constable is made by the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) of the respective police force area.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC): The PCC is an elected official responsible for ensuring that the police force effectively carries out its duties. The PCC is responsible for appointing the Chief Constable.
2. Selection Process: The selection process for a Chief Constable typically involves a competitive recruitment process, which may include interviews, assessments, and sometimes public involvement or consultation. The PCC oversees this process.
3. Confirmation: After the PCC selects a candidate, the appointment must be confirmed by a Police and Crime Panel, which is a body made up of local council members and independent members. The panel has the power to veto the PCC’s choice, but this power is rarely used.
4. Final Appointment: Once the selection is approved by the Police and Crime Panel, the PCC formally appoints the Chief Constable.
For London the process is slightly different: In London, the process for appointing the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police (the equivalent of a Chief Constable in other areas) is slightly different from that in other parts of the UK. The appointment process involves the following steps:
1. Home Secretary: The Home Secretary (a senior government minister in charge of the Home Office) is primarily responsible for the appointment of the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
2. Mayor of London: The Mayor of London also plays a significant role in the appointment process. The Mayor, through the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), works in consultation with the Home Secretary to identify and interview candidates.
3. Selection Process: A competitive selection process is conducted, often involving interviews and assessments. The selection panel typically includes representatives from the Home Office, MOPAC, and other senior officials.
4. Approval: The Home Secretary makes the final decision on the appointment, taking into account the views of the Mayor of London.
5. Formal Appointment: Once a candidate is chosen, the Home Secretary formally appoints the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
