"I believe that we need to develop our understanding of the link between gender and certain types of criminality. I'd like us to develop our working relationships with organisations that are committed to supporting those areas where men or women are overrepresented as victims of crime, or indeed as offenders. I also believe passionately in a Police Service that reflects the community that it serves and, to that end, am committed to increasing female representation at senior ranks within Sussex Police."
- Chief Superintendent Marc Clothier, Champion for Gender Equality work in Sussex Police.
