Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed Daniel Jones as the new Sector Inspector in West Devon.
He has been part of the force for nearly 11 years, prior to which he was a radio operator for Avon and Somerset Police.
His new role includes overseeing the Neighbourhood Police Teams in Tavistock and Okehampton, as well as the surrounding villages.
Inspector Jones said: “I am pleased to be taking on this role in the fantastic West Devon area and want to enthusiastically continue to tackle your priorities and maintain the hard work and high standards already achieved.
“It’s important we keep the momentum going with community engagement and responding to public need. Our priorities here in West Devon are road safety, anti-social behaviour and drugs.”
