Nottinghamshire Police’s next chief constable has vowed to ensure the county's police force 'puts the public first'. Kate Meynell was questioned by a special Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Panel hearing on Wednesday, September 21, before being officially and unanimously confirmed in the role.
The current Deputy Chief Constable at Derbyshire Constabulary is now set to return to work at the force where she began and spent most of her career. In 2018 she took up the role of Assistant Chief Constable at Nottinghamshire Police, before moving to the neighbouring police force.
Following her new appointment, she said: “What is really important is making sure communities feel safe and listened to. It is about putting the public first, working as a team with really clear standards so everyone is clear what Nottinghamshire Police is about.
