Chair of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Panel Karen Lucioni said the panel was “unanimous” in its decision and considered Mr Boon to be of “exceptionally high calibre”.

She added: “His answers to the questions posed by our panel demonstrated his suitability for the role, evidencing the depth and breadth of his experience to continue to move Hampshire and the Isle of Wight forward among the safest places in the country in which to live, work and visit.

“We look forward to welcoming Alexis into our communities.”

Mr Boon is currently serving as deputy assistant commissioner with the Metropolitan Police.

He started his career with Surrey Police in 1998, performing uniform and detective duties as a constable and sergeant.

He then transferred to the Metropolitan Police where he worked his way up the ranks before moving to Counter Terrorism Command.

The role of the Hampshire Police and Crime Panel is to scrutinise the work of the PCC, who is required to hold a confirmation hearing to review the proposed appointment and question the preferred candidate on their suitability for the role.
