The Conservative’s ex-soldier candidate has been named as Avon and Somerset’s second police and crime commissioner.
Mark Shelford made election pledges to “reassure, refocus and rebuild” and prioritise preventing crime, not just trying to catch criminals.
He received 161,319 votes in the May 6 election, some 15,000 ahead of Labour’s Kerry Barker, on 146,293.
Green candidate Cleo Lake finished in third place with 64,790 votes, 52,839 backed Liberal Democrat Heather Shearer and John Smith, the independent, won 46,379.
With the election postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Mr Shelford will only serve for a three-year term.

The wildest of the Wild West towns of northern Dakota Territory and early North Dakota had to be Winona, located directly across the Missouri River from Fort Yates. This former town, on the extreme western edge of present-day Emmons County, was originally named Devil s Colony, and it certainly lived up to its name.
According to North Dakota historian, Douglas Wick, Winona was founded primarily to cater to the off-duty wants of soldiers stationed at Fort Yates. Those wants often included things that were illegal or too immoral to be sanctioned or condoned at the fort.
