A NEW assistant chief officer has been appointed to the probation service in North Yorkshire.
Walter Burns is the new assistant chief officer of corporate governance.
His role will include the duties of the board secretary and ensuring that staff conduct their business in accordance with the law.
Mr Burns said: "I am very excited to be joining North Yorkshire at this time, when the organisation is undergoing significant change as a result of coming under the umbrella organisation of the National Offender Management Service, together with prisons.
"I am looking forward to supporting the board and our staff through this period of change, and ensuring that we continue to conduct our business in the best possible way."
