Policing Insight - Subscription at source 13/7/2026 Analysis, Feature Why police leadership matters at every level with Sir Andy Marsh In this conversation from the College of Policing’s London offices, Chief Constable Sir Andy Marsh reflects on the leadership review commissioned by the Home Office and why he believes leadership has been under-invested in across policing for more than a decade. He argues that strong leadership improves everything from performance and standards to retention, morale and public service, and that the real purpose of the review is to understand how to create more of those positive leadership moments at every level of policing.
