As Police Commissioner Karen Webb nears retirement, NSW Police is facing a series of high-profile personnel changes that will shape the force for years to come.
Webb, the state’s first female top cop, is expected to retire by the second half of 2025 after a tumultuous tenure that saw her navigate scandals and historic reforms. Her departure would leave Premier Chris Minns with a challenging decision to find a successor.
Deputy Commissioner Peter Thurtell, Assistant Commissioners Michael Fitzgerald, Mark Walton, and Danny Doherty are also expected to step down in the near future, triggering a series of promotions and shifts within the force.
Among the potential replacements for Homicide Squad boss Danny Doherty, Superintendent Andrew Koutsoufis, currently overseeing the Raptor Squad, is also being speculated.
With a background as a detective on several high-profile murder investigations, Koutsoufis is a strong contender for one of the most coveted positions in NSW Police.
