Career

Adrian Leppard took up the post of Commissioner in December 2010.

He joined Surrey Police in 1984 and has enjoyed a varied career. He served as a BCU Commander at North West Surrey but has spent most of his service as a detective investigating a broad range of criminality and gaining specialist experience in hostage negotiation, intelligence and covert operations.

As a Senior Investigating Officer he has led investigations into homicides and other serious crimes, including a contract killing 'Commatteo Murder' which resulted in the largest covert investigation ever undertaken by Surrey Police. More recently as Assistant Chief Constable in Kent he led the investigation into the 'world's largest' £53 million Securitas robbery.

He has extensive experience of developing crime reduction strategies and was also instrumental in formulating the Kent Police response to Neighbourhood Policing.

He has received three Chief Constable's Commendations throughout his career and in 2001 completed a Masters Degree in Business (MBA).

He was appointed in December 2007 to the post of Deputy Chief Constable in Kent Police and since that time he has led the force re-structuring and collaboration programmes.  His former command roles within Kent included Assistant Chief Constable with responsibilities for Specialist Operations and more recently Area Operations.
