"Having now served for a total of sixteen years in South Yorkshire and Humberside Police, it will be satisfying to retain a link with both areas in my new role.
"I look forward to working with the ACF permanent staff and volunteers who provide invaluable support and training to young people. I will particularly enjoy visiting the training bases to meet the young cadets.
"These are difficult times and young people benefit from the guidance and encouragement the ACF team provide. The Cadets’ developing skills and self confidence will be a real asset to them as they make their way as citizens in the future."
Mr Hollis will be succeeded as chief constable by Justine Curran.

“Jezhull
Colonelcy is just a standard military word, not really an honour, for any post of Colonel.
Fifteen
years in the military not wasted!”

Colonelcy is a standard military word, not really an honour, it is the correct word for any post of Colonel.

“I hope the new one has a tache. I shall miss Tim's Tache. Vaguely reminiscent of Magnum PI.
Oh no hang on, the new one is a woman. Oops.”

“I can't believe people think Hollis was worse than that clown Westwood or his predecessor Leonard. Remember the Soham murder fiasco?
As a no nonsense ex Army man he got my vote over the tree huggers like Westwood. Look at all the stupid police station outposts he built that no longer serve the purpose for which they were built!”

“So by arriving at Humberside when the force was in home office engagement, which he dealt with after the Soham affair, raised the satisfaction rate among victims of crime and managed to sort out the finances after the governments cuts he a useless chief constable, I think not!
This chap never took his chief constable bonus each year which he could have, he still works nights turning up at stations in the early hours to keep officers up to date with goings on, all by choice.
I think he's quite a good leader and it'll be a shame to see him go, good luck for the future I say.”

“Mr Hollis has been one of the worst and weakest Chief Constables we've ever had. As far as being honoured with a 'Colonelcy', it's just another meaningless award and I didn't even know the word existed.”
