Police and Crime Commissioner, Richard Rhodes said: “I am pleased to welcome Chief Constable Jerry Graham on his return following a period of ill health.

"Mr Graham will be returning on 1st March. Due to the length of time that Mr Graham has been away I have agreed that he will return on a phased basis.

“I would like to thank Temporary Chief Constable Michelle Skeer and the Chief Officer Team who stepped up during Mr Graham’s absence and especially for leading the County’s emergency response to Storm Desmond the devastating flooding in early December.

"I have received many appreciative comments from members of the public about the Constabulary’s response to Storm Desmond.”
