The Chief Constable of Surrey Police, Lynne Owens, was today appointed as Director General of the National Crime Agency.
Police and Crime Commissioner, Kevin Hurley, said:
“The Chief Constable has done very well to be appointed to this high profile and very important post at a time when national security is at ‘severe threat’ status.
“I have just spoken to Mike Penning, Minister for Policing, and I have agreed to do my utmost to facilitate her early release from her duties in Surrey.”
