Jon Burrows MLA

Jon Burrows was selected as the UUP MLA for North Antrim in August 2025. He brings to the Assembly experience from a career in policing and has a strong track record of public service and effective community engagement.

Originally from Bangor, Co. Down, Jon was educated at Bangor Grammar School before graduating from UU with a BA (Hons) in Law and Government; and he also has a Master's in Criminal Justice (MSc) and a Master's in Law (LLM).

Jon was a police officer for 22 years, working both nationally and predominantly in Northern Ireland with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). He held a number of key leadership positions, including Area Commander in Foyle (Londonderry), Chief Inspector Operations for Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon, and finally Head of the PSNI’s Discipline Branch.

Throughout his career, Jon was recognised as a strong supporter of frontline officers. He pioneered innovative policing practices and built a reputation for reducing crime, tackling terrorism, and increasing public confidence in the police service. He also developed deep ties with local communities and was a regular spokesperson for the PSNI in the media.

After retiring from policing in 2021, Jon became a prominent campaigner for justice and accountability, playing a central role in a high-profile legal and media campaign to overturn the politically motivated suspension of a young PSNI officer. He has since been involved in several similar causes, championing fairness for those facing injustice and challenging false media and political narratives.

In recent years, Jon has also established himself as a respected commentator on policing and justice issues, contributing regularly to TV, radio, and print media across Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Alongside this, he has remained grounded in his community, volunteering at a local food bank.

Jon is the Education spokesperson for the Ulster Unionist Party and also supports on all aspects of policing and justice policy and engagement.
