Steve Green Chief Constable for Nottingham retiring at 51
Discussion
Anyone noticed in the press recently that Steve Green, the 51 year old Chief Constable for Nottingham is to step down from his position after seven years in charge.
After joining the force in 2000 Mr Green has become one of the longest-serving chief constables in the country.
Stephen Green is considered by his closest allies to be a top cop, though regarded by the rest of us to be a bit of a top pr*t.
He's best remembered for losing control to drug dealers and criminals in the st. anns area of Nottingham and the drive by shooting of a youngster at Goose Fair a few years ago, plus numerous other high profile shootings.
Crime has rocketed throughout Nottinghamshire, though unless you have been caught for speeding you rarely see sight of his force, unless near to election times, or other pompous politicial occasions.
Green, driven on by safety driven do-gooders, has pushed ahead with a criminally expensive SPECS safety camera system on the ring road, all funded by Nottinghamshire taxpayers to catch any motorists who are somehow able to speed on the ring-road.
Steve Green aged 51 is possibly looking forward to a great many state funded police retirement benefits, though these figures are not as yet available to the general public. We merely fund his pension fund!
So let us all say good bye and good riddance to this top cop, and thank him for his loyal service to the county, and hope to god he's replaced by a decent, hard working, honest, and down-to-earth bobbie on the beat!!!

Each to his own....
I served with Steve as a fellow Inspector in his early years and found him a regular guy. Please to see him climb the ladder
We all moan about the abilities of a Chief, I am no different, but some of the crap (with a capital C) they have to deal with one can appreciate why they 'lost it' but a detailed enquiry may reveal factors we were not privy to or did not appreciate.
' Let him without sin cast the first stone' eh.

Isn’t Nottingham now the gun crime capital of UK? He obviously did an excellent job in those 7 years!!
If you read the Mail it is.It's not, although i'm not blindly loyal enough to deny it does have, or did have, a big problem with firearm related crime.
These were problems which were bubbling away under the surface well before Mr Green came.
Did he do enough to nip it in the bud? Obviously not. Hindsight's wonderful.
Operation Stealth has done a brilliant job of cutting gun crime in recent years. Sadly a little too late in the day.

I think he has the right idea.
Wish I had a chiefs pension at 51, to look forward to.
Why anyone wants to go on beyond that age is beyond me.
Some may think it appropriate and justifiable, and presumably it is in accordance with the rules, but 51 seems to be an extremely early age at which to retire.Wish I had a chiefs pension at 51, to look forward to.
Why anyone wants to go on beyond that age is beyond me.
Best wishes all,
Dave.

The old "quick turnaround" shifts or whatever they were called apparently took years off one's life.

The average life expectancy after retiral for cops used to be only 4 years!
Thankfully its not that bad now
Not so many years ago the retirement age for the majority of the population was 65 and life expectancy 68. This issue wasn't just confined to the Police Force. Thankfully its not that bad now
Retiral? I think you mean 'retirement'.

The research that's most often quoted is that from the middle/late '80s where it was found that half of retiring poice officers died within four years of handing their uniform in. That's regardless of age on retirement. The result of this research was that that nothing was done. There was lots of talk about shift patterns and such but that's where it ended. I did just over half my career on full shifts and whenever I got onto a 9-5 within five or six weeks I would start to feel realy good and buzzing.Thankfully its not that bad now
After one early turn I walked into the car car and not only could not remember where I parked my car, but didn't know which one I'd come in.
Rotating shifts cripple you.
The current 6 on 4 off isn't too bad, 2 days, 2 afters, 2 nights then 4 off.
The management hate it as there have to be 5 rotas instead of 4.
Our new Divisional Commander has made it quite clear that it won't be long until we're back on the old 8 hour shift pattern with the long drags of night shifts which come with it.
Not all bad though, time for a pint after a 2-10 shift which is something we can't do on the current 3-12's.
Shame they shut all the bars... Apart from the one at headquarters which the Chief happens to use!

He's probably got a few quango posts lined up.
The former Chief Con of Merseyside, James Sharples, is the Chairman of our local hospital trust. There's a bit of a row going on locally as it used to be more or less an honoury job, paying a nominal £15K. A couple of years ago it doubled to £30K and this year it increased to £45K. Not bad for chairing a few meetings, and with his pension means he’s probably earning as much now as if he were still CC.
