The preferred choice for the next person to lead Nottinghamshire Police has been announced following a "rigorous selection process." Craig Guildford, the current Chief Constable at Nottinghamshire Police, is leaving after five years to do the same role in the West Midlands.
Interviews have been taking place to decide who should take over and the leading candidate has now been revealed. Kate Meynell is the current Deputy Chief Constable in Derbyshire, but has spent most of her career in Nottinghamshire.
She first joined Nottinghamshire Police in 1993, when she was posted to Bulwell, before eventually joining CID and undertaking investigative roles in the Child Abuse unit. She became head of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit in 2015, overseeing crime investigations across the region.
