JOHN Fletcher has been appointed the new Deputy Chief Constable (DCC) for Bedfordshire Police.
Mr Fletcher joined the force in May 2008 as an Assistant Chief Constable, and has been acting DCC for the last six months.

He will serve under Chief Constable Alf Hitchcock, who took over the county’s policing in January.
