Hertfordshire's Controversial Crime Commissioner Lloyd Loses Second Senior Executive in Two Weeks

Liberal Democrat County Councillors are shocked and disturbed to learn that Chief Executive Andrew White has stepped down from his £123,000 role having previously held the the top job at the county's now defunct Police Authority.

Members of Hertfordshire's Police and Crime Panel were told of the departure on Monday.

Mr White has become the second senior figure to leave Police Crime Commissioner David Lloyd's office in the last two weeks following the departure of the commissioner's deputy Rachel Frosh.

Liberal Democrat County Councillor Chris White (St Albans Central) said, "Hertfordshire residents can only be more and more disturbed by the way Commissioner Lloyd is managing the police service - although ''managing'' would seem to be a kind word".

"Who's next to go? The Chief Constable?"
