GREENWICH'S top police officer has been appointed Croydon's borough commander on a temporary basis.
Chief Superintendent Richard Wood, borough commander in Greenwich, will stand in for David Musker who is away on a course for two months.
"I am delighted to be at Croydon and I'm looking forward to building upon the excellent work that Dave and the team here have been doing," said Chief Super Wood.
"Although I'm here for a relatively short period of time until Dave's return, I'm 100 per cent committed to making Croydon an even safer place."
Chief Super Musker, who was off work due to ill-health for several weeks in November, has been away from Croydon on annual leave since Christmas, leaving Supt Rob Atkin in charge on an acting basis.
He is now on a 'senior police strategic command course' and is due to return to Croydon on April 15.
