In a statement he said: ‘I made a promise and took an oath to serve all the people of the constabulary area in the context of my mission “To make you, your family and your community safer” – a mission that I imagine myself making to every individual and as a personal promise of my motivation that this should become a reality for each and every one of us.

He added: ‘My mandate as champion of the community’s priorities can only be delivered if I am visible and accessible.’
