This morning, the Royal Gibraltar Police announced promotions to the rank of Sergeant for three of its detectives. 

Polly O’Neil, Ilias Rahmouni and Mark Perry were all told of their promotions this morning, following recommendations made by a Promotion Board consisting of representatives from the Royal Gibraltar Police, HM Government of Gibraltar and the Gibraltar Police Authority. 

Polly gained 12 years of experience in Merseyside Police before joining the RGP three years ago and since then she has worked in Response Teams and in Community Policing. 

Father-of-two and keen Futsal player, Ilias has been a police officer for eight years, four in Response Teams and the rest in Safeguarding, the Economic Crime Unit and in CID. 

Almost five years ago, Mark, the son of a UK police officer, came to Gibraltar with the aim of joining the RGP – and, perhaps, occasionally playing some golf! 

Commissioner Richard Ullger said: ‘I’d like to congratulate the three officers on their promotions which are all well deserved. Promotion in the RGP is achieved by hard work and dedication to the service as is clearly evidenced by this announcement today.’
