He takes over the role from Judith Gillespie, who stepped down in March.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the unsuccessful candidate for their interest in the post and also Temporary Deputy Chief Constable Finlay for his work over the last number of months."
Mr Harris has more than 30 years' experience with the police.
