It was great to meet the new Assistant Chief Constable, Ash Tuckley, recently. In his new role as the new ACPO officer for local policing across Northamptonshire, he will also be acting as the executive team point of contact for MPs on behalf of the Chief Constable. This will enable a smoother passage of communication for the county's MPs when contacting the Chief Constable's team, raising any policing related issues on behalf of our constituents. I'm looking forward to working together constructively to continue to tackle policing related issues locally and particularly continuing to support the force's recruitment efforts in getting more officers out on the beat, catching criminals and deterring crime, as part of the national uplift programme.
