Mr Price, who was a Warrington Borough councillor until he stood down in 2019, is vice chairman of Great Sankey Parish Council.
He said alongside increasing police numbers, his priorities also included a focus on community policing, introduction of new technology and force modernisation.
He said he was “hugely honoured” to have been elected and said he would “get on with delivery of my priorities that the public have so clearly supported as soon as possible”.
He added that he believed “fundamentally [that] the public are fed up of the lies and the scandals [and] they want change”.
“They want politicians who serve with integrity and honesty and selflessness and that’s exactly what I intend to do,” he added.
Mr Dwyer said he believed if the focus of the election had been “on local issues alone, I’m sure I would have won today, because we performed so well in the three years I’ve been in post”.
“People are disillusioned with the Conservative Party and I think what we’ve seen with the low turnout is that people just haven’t bothered,” he said.
“They’re fed up with politics and I think I paid a penalty as a result of it.”
