A LONG-STANDING police inspector is to pass the baton to another local lad to help keep communities safe.
Inspector Geoff Carter is to retire from the South East Neighbourhood Policing Team - which covers villages including Havercroft, Hemsworth and South Kirkby - later this month and South Elmsall’s Paul Sullivan is set to replace him.
Geoff, who has served with West Yorkshire Police for 26 years, said: “I will leave with a tinge of sadness because it is a role and profession I have overwhelmingly enjoyed. Neighbourhood policing has been the most enjoyable part of my career.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
