Negus, who is replacing former commissioner Mick Keelty who retired last week, is only the sixth person to lead the AFP.

He has been a member of the AFP for 27 years and was awarded the Australian Police Medal in 2005.

Appointed as deputy commissioner operations in 2007, Negus had been responsible for high tech crime operations, border activities and international deployment.
