“His passion for the role, the force, and for serving our communities in Kent came across very clearly and he will work closely with me as we develop the force going forward. I am extremely pleased to appoint him as DCC.”
DCC Ayling said: “I feel very proud, honoured and privileged to have been appointed as Deputy Chief Constable for Kent Police. I’m the son of a Kent Police officer, I’ve lived here all my life, so I cannot think of a greater honour than this. Kent is a wonderful place to live, work and visit and has a police force committed to keeping people safe, and preventing crime and antisocial behaviour.
“I look forward to playing my part alongside Chief Constable Smith and every other officer and member of staff to help Kent Police continue to provide the very best service to victims and witnesses.”
