Following speculation in the media in the wake of the investigation into Sir Edward Heath's alleged child abuse, Chief Constable Mike Veale has denied that he will be resigning.
It was reported by national newspapers that Chief Constable Mike Veale would be retiring after his controversial investigation into claims over child abuse towards the former prime minister.
In a statement released today, Veale said: "I have been with Wiltshire Police for coming up to 13 years and my commitment to the force I lead and the communities we serve is as strong today as it ever has been. Indeed, my passion and enthusiasm for policing remains as equally high as it was when I joined the service some 33 years ago.
“The suggestion that I am about to quit the force is simply not true.
“I remain fully committed to Wiltshire Police and I am exceptionally proud to serve as its Chief Constable."
