Sir William was promoted to Sergeant in 1977, and rose swiftly through the ranks throughout the 1980s. In 1996 he became Chief Constable of Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary.

In 2001, he returned to Strathclyde Police as Chief Constable. He is the Honorary Secretary of the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland. Sir William is married and has two grown up sons.

In the spring of 2007 Sir William announced that he will retire from the Force in September 2007.
