PCC sets out expectations for new Chief Constable

04 August 2025

Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones has today (August 4) welcomed Alexis Boon as the new Chief Constable of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary.

Police Commissioner Donna Jones said: “I’m delighted Alexis has begun his new role as Chief Constable.

“The Constabulary has gone from strength to strength in recent years. That progression has been highlighted in the recent PEEL report by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services and I’ve tasked Alexis with continuing those improvements.

“We are a large force but we are still under capacity for the amount of officers we have for our communities.

“Recruitment is a major priority and I’ve urged Alexis to ensure the officers I have already funded are on our streets as quickly as possible.

“The new Chief Constable is joining us at one of our busiest times of the year. His wealth of experience running police operations for the Metropolitan Police will be a huge advantage to us.

“We are both clear that our aim, going forward, is to drive up charge rates, protect communities and get more bobbies on the beat.

“Together we want to make Hampshire and the Isle of Wight the safest places to live, work and visit.”
