Kent Police's Chief Constable has stepped down from the role after six years at the head of the force.
Last Tuesday (Feb 2) Michael Fuller announced he would be leaving the post to become the new Chief Inspector of the Crown Prosecution Service in April.
A new Chief Constable is expected to be appointed by the end of the summer, and the current deputy, Adrian Leppard, will step up to the role until then.
Chairwoman of the Kent Police Authority, Ann Barnes, said: “Since Mr Fuller’s appointment here in Kent he has made a significant difference in raising the profile of the force.
“His work has led to a number of successes including neighbourhood policing, introduction of task teams, and our collaboration work with Essex police.”
