Devon and Cornwall Police acting chief insists morale is strong despite top officer's suspension.
"Obviously a set of circumstances like this is far from ideal - no police force would want to lose their chief constable in the way that we have," he said.
"Morale remains strong - we've got 6,000 officers, staff and volunteers working hard - day in, day out.", Mr Kerr was a police officer in Northern Ireland for 27 years before leaving in 2018 to join Police Scotland.Mr Colwell said "nobody should be speculating" over how long "the current arrangements" would last.
The Chief Police Officers Staff Association, which represents the interests of senior police staff in the UK, said the IOPC was carrying out a separate investigation into "legacy misconduct matters".
