"I will make sure I'm able to assist with the manifesto commitments and crime plan that will be published by the commissioner.
"As part of my work in the probation service as a practitioner and manager, I have vast experience of working with all kinds of offenders."
Police and crime commissioner Alan Charles, announcing his intention to appoint Mr Dhindsa, said: "We had a great deal of interest in the role and we interviewed six candidates, all of whom were of a high calibre.
"I would like to congratulate Hardyal on his successful application.
"The role of police and crime commissioner is a big one, with a wide range of responsibilities, and I was seeking someone who would help me deliver on my election pledges and support me in my work. I believe we have found that person."
The proposed appointment will now go forward to the Derbyshire Police and Crime Panel, which meets today, for a confirmation hearing.

“@appraiser and commanon; did you vote?
Of those that did the majority voted for Alan Charles.
If one of the other candidates had been voted in to this completely unnecessary post, dreamed up by the tories for no apparent reason other than to waste a few million pounds or to give their cronies some perquisites, then he would have done exactly the same, only there'd be slightly less over the top whining.”

“If the PCC required an Assistant PCC. It would have been very wise and justified to choose any one of the other 3 candidates who stood for the PCC role.
The PCC's true colours have been shown with this appointment.
That colour would be light with a Wavelength of ~620–740nm.”

“Let me paraphrase my comments on a previous article regarding these two dithering nincompoops, it's a "bl***y" disgrace. These two should both resign, Derby does not need them or want them judging by the flurry of comments on these two. So do the right thing and "bu***r off"”

“Mr Charles, Mr Dhindsa,
It must be obvious to you both that your are neither wanted or welcome.
How can you, Mr Charles, possibly know how to run a police service any better than the very experienced Chief Constable and his staff?
Its all very well talking a good job - but I'm quite sure you havent got a clue on how to deliver, still, the moneys nice isn't it?
Just have a look at how many of Derbyshires citizens bothered to turn out at the elections - does that give you some idea of how much you are wanted?
Now it seems that the police service is being politicised and manipulated - something which it should never be.
In short - go away - and take Mr Dhindsa with you.”

“I though the PCC roles were all about keeping politics out of the Police Service... it would have been so refreshing if some integrity was shown when appointing to this role!”

“And I thought the position was "none political". Strange they are both from the Labour party or is it ??
The new Chief did not want a different outlook on issues it is plain to see.
Sh----g in the same pot comes to mind.”
