New chief constable pledges ‘exceptional policing' on first day
The new chief constable for Hampshire police has pledged to deliver 'exceptional policing' as he starts in the role. Alexis Boon has joined the force from the Metropolitan Police, where he led commands in local policing, specialist crime and counter terrorism. His arrival follows former chief constable Scott Chilton's departure after the Echo revealed he was facing a probe for not disclosing a past relationship with a junior officer. Mr Chilton quit in April after being told he was under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct for gross misconduct. Speaking on his first day in the role, Mr Boon said he is keen for the force to focus on listening to and working with communities in the county. 'Engaging with purpose will help us prevent crime and bring more criminals to justice', he said. He added: 'I joined policing because I firmly believe in public service. 'I know the exceptional officers, staff and volunteers across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight share my commitment to be there for our communities, especially when they need us most.' READ MORE: Dangerous driver ran red lights and drove wrong way on roundabouts during chase Police and crime commissioner (PCC) Donna Jones said she has urged Mr Boon to continue the improvements recently outlined in the PEEL report by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services. She added that his 'wealth of experience' will be a huge advantage to the force. She said: '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. '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.'

Car was found in an Everglades canal. Hours later, Broward cops found dead body
A man's body surfaced in a west Broward canal in the Florida Everglades early Thursday morning, prompting a swift response from rescue divers and drones. Deputies responded to reports of a submerged vehicle near Krome Avenue and U.S. Highway 27 around 9 p.m. on Wednesday and found a Chevy Tahoe underwater, Broward Sheriff's Office told the Miami Herald. The agency's dive team, missing persons unit, marine patrol and drone unit were deployed to locate the SUV when, hours later, the dead body turned up. Marshall Jones, owner of Mack's Fish Camp, an air boat tour business located on the same stretch of canal, was the first to phone authorities and guided rescue crews when they arrived. 'I saw fresh skid marks and disturbance on the side of the levy and bubbles in the canal,' Marshall Jones told the Miami Herald. Jones described the body as a man in his 30s. He told the Miami Herald he thinks the body was the driver and that he had been ejected from the SUV before he was found. BSO's Traffic Homicide Unit is now investigating how the sunken car and its driver ended up in the canal. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
