John Dwyer , Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner

The new Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire has vowed to deliver his manifesto after being elected.

Nantwich-based John Dwyer, a former Assistant Chief Constable, has promised to stick to the pledges made during his election campaign.

Mr Dwyer, and ex Crewe & Nantwich Borough councillor, wants to see 1,000 Special Constables, and one in every village, and to crackdown on anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol abuse.

He’s also keen to set up a sentencing unit, tackle rural crime, and introduce a Youth Ambassador.

Mr Dwyer said: “I am delighted and honoured to have been elected by the people of Cheshire but the hard work starts here to deliver my manifesto pledges.

“This is an exciting and challenging new role which I see as bringing a new dynamic to policing with myself as a single focus point of accountability.

“I will ultimately be held to account by the public, not just those who voted for me, but all of those who are served by the Constabulary.”

Mr Dwyer, who will take up his post this Thursday (November 22), added: “My election campaign was based on a series of commitments to the people of Cheshire and my work will be centred on delivering those pledges.

“Cheshire is already a fantastic area and a safe place to live. But we must not rest on our laurels. Success lies in freeing police officers to do what they do best- policing.”

Chairman of the outgoing Cheshire Police Authority Margaret Ollerenshaw said: “The Commissioner will face many challenges, especially at the current time when savings have to be made to meet Government spending cuts.

“We sincerely wish Mr Dwyer well in this new role.”

Cheshire Chief Constable David Whatton said: “I am looking forward to working with John.

“I am confident he wants to make Cheshire safe and to make people feel safe by dealing robustly with crime and anti-social behaviour. The wider role of the Police and Crime Commissioner will bring all organisations and communities together to make a positive difference to people′s lives.”

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
