REINSTATEMENT OF CHIEF CONSTABLE NEIL RHODES

Chief Constable Neil Rhodes issued the following statement at 1845hrs this evening, Thursday 28^th March 2013.  

“Having been reinstated as a Constable and Chief Constable I have travelled back from the Judicial Review hearing at Manchester and have met with my chief officer team and have resumed control of the force. Over the Easter period I will be taking a long-planned period of leave and I look forward to serving the community of Lincolnshire as best I am able upon my return.

I would very much like to thank the huge number of people in the Lincolnshire Police and ordinary members of the public for their messages of support which number several hundred.  I am really grateful to them and I want to get back to work to repay their faith in me.

The most important thing now is that all of our attention turns to policing the County of Lincolnshire.
