I met this morning the new Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire, Philip Wilkinson, at Police HQ in Devizes this morning. Philip is a former senior army officer with extensive experience of managing security services around the world. He's been in office for just a week, but I am glad to say he is determined to improve relations between the police and the public, with better (and better funded) systems for handling complaints and a commitment to more visible policing, especially in rural areas. It was a pleasure to discuss our local crime challenges and I hope we will see the difference on our streets soon.
