A police chief has said that a trial carried out during the Olympics of changes to the way senior officers worked was “very successful”.

While more than 200 rank-and-file officers were helping forces in London and Dorset, six superintendents in Gloucestershire were placed centrally, rather than across their own patch, and asked to work a longer day.

Chief Constable Mick Matthews had earlier said that elements of the trial could be retained if it was a success.

“What that has resulted in has been a far quicker response to more urgent issues,” he said.
