Deputy police and crime commissioner Tafheen Sharif has resigned, Luton News can confirm.
Ms Sharif, 31, who is also a Luton councillor for Dallow, was appointed by PCC Olly Martins in November 2011.
He said: “It is with regret that I have accepted Tafheen Sharif’s resignation as the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Bedfordshire.
“The Police and Crime Panel has been advised and it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
The deputy PCC role is a £36,000pa four day a week position.
Luton News has contacted Cllr Sharif for comment.
Though Cllr Sharif was named the 2012 Young Councillor of the Year she will be unable to contest her seat in next year’s election as she was de-selected in February.
At the time PCC Olly Martins openly criticised the Luton Labour decision to de-select Cllr Sharif.
