Mr Lane said: "I appreciate the voters trust in me and promise everyone that I will dedicate myself to the role.

"While I will take the role of scrutiny of the force seriously, I admire the Chief Constable and officers as dedicated professionals.

"I would also like to thank the outgoing Commissioner, Simon Hayes, for setting up the office and the great care he has shown for residents of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight."

He will formally start his role on 12 May.
