Hide AdNeil said that it had been an amazing experience to have started as Constable and to retire as Chief Constable in the same force and to have taken the oath of attestation and retired from the same building.
“I made two top decisions 31 years ago – the first one was to ask Sue to marry me and the second was to join Lincolnshire Police. It’s been an absolute blast and I have enjoyed working with all of you – thank you!”
New Chief Constable Bill Skelly officially takes up the post tomorrow.
