POLICE officers who are based in Woking have a new commander, who is replacing Detective Inspector Nell Rodriguez.

Insp Sandra Carlier took temporary command of the borough last Monday.

She is on secondment to Woking until September, when Insp Paul Edwards is taking over the role. Insp Edwards has a background in neighbourhood policing, with several years of experience in Surrey Police.

Det Insp Rodriguez, who became the Woking commander last summer, has returned to a detective role in the force.
