said: “I have the pleasure of coming<br />
into contact with many outstanding<br />
directors and leaders as I perform my<br />
duties as <strong>IoD</strong> Chair, but few have<br />
impressed me as much over the past<br />
20 months as ACC Kerrin Wilson. She<br />
has led her police force through an<br />
incredibly difficult time but has done<br />
so with a calm assurance that has<br />
bred confidence within the public.<br />
“That the people of Lincolnshire have<br />
trusted their police’s handling of the<br />
pandemic and its many rules is<br />
testimony to Kerrin’s leadership.”<br />
