ONE of East Yorkshire’s top police officers is retiring after 30 years of service.
Chief Superintendent Paul Davison – Divisional Commander for the East Riding of Yorkshire – will be leaving the force on March 30.
He began his police career at Queens Gardens Police Station in 1982 and has enjoyed a varied career mostly in the CID, which culminated in a posting to Hull as Detective Superintendent in 2001.
He said: “I have had a brilliant time working alongside some real characters and had the privilege of leading some complex and interesting murder investigations, which I will remember forever.
“My last four years of service has been as Divisional Commander for the East Riding and hope that I have made a real difference to local people and their quality of life. It is now one of the safest places to live in the country and I am proud of the service we provide to victims of crime and antisocial behaviour.”
He thanked colleagues for their hard work, sense of humour, loyalty and support, and residents for their support of him and his officers.
