Chris Davison has served with Lincolnshire Police for 29 years and is currently Deputy Chief Constable. Born and raised in Grantham, he began his policing journey as a Lincolnshire Police Cadet before joining the force as a police officer in 1997 and progressing through a variety of operational and senior leadership roles.
Chris's family connection to policing in Lincolnshire stretches back more than a century. His great-grandfather served as both a Police Constable and Detective Constable in Grantham from 1918 to 1945, continuing the proud tradition of local policing in the years following the pioneering service of Edith Smith. His uncle served with Lincolnshire Police as a Constable, and his aunt served as a member of Police Staff.
As a Grantham native and senior police leader, Chris has a special interest in the history of policing in Lincolnshire. He is proud to celebrate the legacy of Edith Smith, the first female police constable in the United Kingdom with full powers of arrest, whose groundbreaking service in Grantham helped shape the future of policing for generations of women who followed.
