Chief constable to face questions on romance scams
Antisocial behaviour and romance fraud will be among the topics discussed when Kent's chief constable answers questions on BBC Radio Kent.
Chief Constable Tim Smith will appear in the hot seat on Thursday, answering presenter Dominic King's questions on his programme live from 10:00 BST.
The Kent Police boss will also answer questions on pay and working conditions in the force.
This will be his fourth time in the hot seat.
Appearing on the programme in January, Mr Smith said Kent Police had asked the government for funding to help with the "huge costs" of enforcing the ban on XL bully dogs.
He has worked for Kent Police for 31 years and started as chief constable in 2022.
The chief constable reports to the police and crime commissioner and is responsible for Kent Police's direction and managing its budget.
