In December last year, Bruges police chief Yves Rotty died completely unexpectedly. Guy Vincke was then appointed as acting chief of police. The chief commissioner already had a long career in the police. Before Bruges he was active in other police zones. The other candidate is Jean-Louis Dalle. He is currently chief of police of the Gavers zone (Deerlijk-Harelbeke).
The Bruges city council must consider both candidacies. The governor and the attorney, among others, must also provide advice. A permanent appointment is expected in June at the earliest.
