I don't know the bloke and he may well be a nice guy but I couldn't help but notice that he was retiring at 53. I can understand bobbies at the sharp end wanting to retire early, but a Chief Constable who spends his time attending meetings and sitting behind a desk? Just how generous are these pension arrangements?
