Dr Gibson began his career as a PC in Lincolnshire in 1998 and spent 19 years in the force before leaving to take on the role of Assistant Chief Constable with Derbyshire Police.
He said: "I am thrilled and honoured to be selected and very much looking forward to coming home to take on the job of keeping this wonderful community safe.

The recommendation is now expected to go before Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Panel in early October for consideration and confirmation.
