Conservative candidate Marc Jones has been elected as Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire.
He will take office on Thursday 12 May 2016.
The outgoing Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, Alan Hardwick said:
“I want to warmly congratulate Marc. It’s a big job and I wish the new Commissioner the very best for the future.
"Lincolnshire Police is a force that, nationally and locally, punches well above its weight. I have no doubt that, with a strong and determined PCC to continue the campaign for fairer funding, the County will continue to be a safe place in which to live and work.”
