| As agreed with North Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan, Mr Jones will remain in post until a permanent appointment is made, Ms Mulligan's South Yorkshire counterpart Dr Alan Billings said. | |
| "I am confident that he will be able to move the force forward to a position where trust and confidence in the force can begin to be restored," said Dr Billings. | |
| Mr Jones began his career in Greater Manchester and was Assistant Chief Constable for Police Service Northern Ireland until moving to North Yorkshire in 2013. | |
| He said he realised he was taking the post at a very difficult period and said he wanted to make a difference. | |
| "First and foremost, I will engage with those communities both inside and outside of South Yorkshire who have been let down by the police service," Mr Jones said. | |
| "I want to understand how their confidence in policing has been affected, and work with them to build it back up and restore pride back into the police service." | |
| He added he would be seeking support for a full review of South Yorkshire Police. |
