There is no two-tier policing in Hertfordshire, its chief constable insisted, as he admitted there are "very real and live community tensions" following the murder of Henry Nowak. Chief Constable Andy Prophet appeared before Herts County Council's Public Health and Community Safety Cabinet Panel on Thursday, June 4, where he updated members on local policing. Henry Nowak was murdered by Vickrum Singh Digwa, a 23-year-old British Sikh, in Southampton, on December 3, 2025.
