The Chief Constable of Northumbria Police has announced his retirement.
Chief Constable Winton Keenen QPM, who is now in his 38th year of policing service, will leave next March. The entirety of Mr Keenen's career has been served with the force.
He said: "It has been my absolute privilege to serve as the Chief Constable of Northumbria Police and to have worked alongside so many dedicated and selfless people, who consistently make the lives of others far better than they would otherwise be. As a Northumbria officer my whole policing career, holding the position as Chief Constable of my home force has truly been an honour.
