ACC John Long
John Long was appointed as Assistant Chief
Constable in April 2008 and is responsible for the
policing in Bristol and criminal justice.
John is no stranger to the area as he has served
with the constabulary since June 2003 when he
joined Avon and Somerset from the Metropolitan
Police Service.
He began his career with the Met in 1984 after spending two years working as an economist on the project to build the Metro system in
Newcastle.
During his 10 years in the c apital he worked in
various locations across London and served during
the Wapping and Broadwater Farm riots of the
80s, the Clapham and Ladbrook Grove rail
disasters, and the poll tax riots of the early 90s.
As Superintendent Head of operations in Wandsworth John was the gold
commander for the annual University Boat Race.
He joined Avon and Somerset in June 2003 as Superintendent in the Headquarters operations department. His responsibilities included the policing of Europe's largest music festival – Glastonbury.
In April 2004 he moved to Bristol and played a key role in the amalgamation of the
three Bristol districts into one.
In March 2005 he was promoted to Chief Superintendent and took over as district
commander of South Gloucestershire district before moving back to Bristol to be
district commander in January 2007.
John is a trustee of the Bristol Drugs Project as well as being a visiting lecturer at
the University of the West of England.
ACC John Long said: "Bristol is a vibrant and diverse city and it is crucial that we
respond in every person's moment of need with absolutely the best level of policing service we can provide. In this way we will maintain and build the confidence in policing that our communities so much need and deserve.
"There are many others who wish to help and work alongside Bristol police in
tackling problems of crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. We receive wide-
ranging support from the Safer Bristol partnership, the business community and
the voluntary sector, whether through co-operation, additional resources or
stepping forward to deal with individual problems. And, of course, there are the
often inspirational actions of the members of the public whom we serve. So many
