Education

Cheer studied at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.[6]

Early career

Cheer joined Essex Police in 1984. In 2004 she attended a Strategic Command Course, and transferred to Suffolk Police as an Assistant Chief Constable in 2006. She was promoted to Deputy Chief Constable with Suffolk.[7]

Career with Cleveland Police

Cheer was appointed Chief Constable of Cleveland Police on a permanent basis by the force's Police and Crime Commissioner, Barry Coppinger, in February 2013. She has been the temporary chief since late 2011, following the suspension and subsequent sacking[8] of her predecessor, Sean Price,[5] and his deputy, Derek Bonnard.[8]

In September 2013, she received adverse publicity for failing Cleveland Police's fitness test. She was believed to be the first chief officer to fail, although a force spokesman said that as she was in a non-operational role, she was not required to take, (or by implication, pass) the test.[9]

From January to March 2015, Cheer was seconded as an instructor to the London Police College.[10]

Honors and awards

She has been awarded the Queen's Police Medal.[7]
