Helen King has joined the Cheshire Police team of chief officers as Deputy Chief Constable.
She re-affirmed the oath which gives police officers policing powers, witnessed and signed by Moira Chapman, a magistrate and member of Cheshire Police Authority.
Deputy Chief Cons King said: “I have a very clear view that as police officers we are here to serve the public and do all we can to keep our communities safe and make them feel safe.
“Whatever challenges we may currently face, that core task does not change.
“At the heart of everything we have a continuing commitment to neighbourhood policing.”
She joined Cheshire Constabulary in 1986 and worked in Chester, Runcorn, Widnes, Warrington and Northwich.
She went on to be police commander at Halton for three years.
Later, as a Chief Superintendent, she was Northern Area Commander.
She also spent some time as Cheshire Police Head of Professional Standards.
Moira Chapman said: “It was a great pleasure to welcome Helen back as she spent much of the early part of her career with Cheshire Constabulary.”
