RACHEL Farrell has been selected as a permanent deputy chief constable at Dorset Police.
She was selected after a recruitment process chaired by the force chief constable, Amanda Pearson.
DCC Farrell has been carrying out the role on a temporary basis since the summer.
“I am delighted to announce that I have selected Rachel Farrell as our new deputy chief constable,” chief constable Pearson said.
“While Rachel has been covering the role in a temporary capacity, I am thrilled that we will continue working together for the good of our people, our communities and our partners.

“I would like to congratulate Rachel on her selection.
“Dorset Police has a strong and cohesive chief officer team, and this will bring stability to the organisation as we focus on making Dorset a safe county for everyone.”
Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner, David Sidwick, added: “This is an excellent selection and my sincere congratulations go to Rachel.
“I trust and respect her for the true public servant that she is and I very much look forward to the contribution she will bring as deputy chief constable to making Dorset the safest county in the UK.”
I think Lorne should get promoted for bravery, not fired, you are clearly not in touch with the very people you are suposed to protect.
God help Dorset Police, if this is the calibre of senior employee that has never obviously tried to deal with a 15 year old teenager with a knife. Where do they get these people from, they live on another planet, walk a mile is someone else’s shoes first before judging, it obvious that this individual has never been in any similar situation, if she does I wonder if someone will arrange to have her sacked for protecting their community and putting her life on the line, this is just vile.
