Ex-police chief gets new role
RETIRING Humberside Police Chief Constable Tim Hollis has accepted an honorary new role within the military.
Mr Hollis, who is due to retire from policing at the end of March after eight-years as Chief Constable of Humberside Police, has been appointed the Honorary Colonel of the Army Cadet Force (AFC) for South Yorkshire and Humberside.
Mr Hollis is also a former Parachute Regiment officer and said he is looking forward to return to the military.
He said: “Having spent the first three years of my public service in the British Army, it’s rather gratifying to return to the military after 35 years of policing.
“Having now served for a total of 16 years in South Yorkshire and the Humberside Police, it will be satisfying to retain a link with both areas in my new role.
“I look forward to working with the ACF permanent staff and volunteers who provide invaluable support and training to young people.
“I will particularly enjoy visiting the training bases to meet the young cadets.
“These are difficult times and young people benefit from the guidance and encouragement the ACF team provide.
“The Cadets’ developing skills and self confidence will be a real asset to them as they make their way as citizens in the future.”
The ACF is the country’s largest voluntary youth service.
