Alan Baldwin, who is currently assistant chief constable with Thames Valley Police, succeeds Alec Wood, who was recently promoted to chief constable.
Mr Wood said: “I am delighted that Alan has accepted this position and I look forward to working with him and taking on the many challenges that face policing in coming years.
“I think Alan will fit in really well and will be a real asset to the force.”
Mr Baldwin said: “I have been impressed with the work I have seen in Cambridgeshire and am very much looking forward to my new role.”
