A new Commander has taken charge of policing across the South Bucks and Chiltern area.

Superintendent Vince Grey took over on Monday from Superintendent Yvette Hitch who has been appointed as LPA Commander for Milton Keynes.

He joined Thames Valley Police in 1988 and has served predominantly in the north, working in specialist roles within the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), becoming a Detective Chief Inspector (DCI).

Superintendent Grey previously worked in Bucks as a Detective Sergeant in 2005 for two years and as an Inspector for a year in 2009.

In January 2016 he became Crime Manager at Milton Keynes LPA and in February 2017 its temporary Commander.

He said: “I am excited to be LPA Commander for Chiltern and South Buckinghamshire.

“I know the policing team and strong local partnership will keep delivering a reliable service despite the challenging times ahead and I am proud of their commitment.”
