About Damien Smethurst

I have recently retired from Cheshire Constabulary after 28yrs service.

My most recent role was as the Chief Superintendent and Programme Director for the North West Police Forces for the introduction of the Emergency Services Network.

I was also the national police Planning Lead for ESN, and have extensive knowledge in critical communications, control room systems and critical operational location coverage requirements.

Having retired through injury on duty, I am now aiming to get back into the field of work I have operated in for the last 11 years - predominantly critical incident management, programme delivery and critical communications.
