The Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police Rob Nixon, has announced his intention to retire in March 2025.
He's had a 32-year policing career.
Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police Rob Nixon, said: "Leading the force I joined as a constable has been the honour of a lifetime. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work alongside some incredible people —dedicated police officers and staff, and from partner agencies —whose endless commitment to our communities has continually inspired me to do more. I have been fortunate to serve vibrant and diverse communities here throughout my career. The unique support of local people and partners has been integral to keeping people safe."
He took over the role of Chief Constable in March 2022.
He was the policing’s lead during the recent operation to tackle prison overcrowding, and took responsibility to oversee a review and restructuring of the East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU).
Chief Constable Nixon, said: "I have been fortunate to work alongside exceptional people from local authorities, the emergency services, charities and the health service. All have played an instrumental role in making our communities safer. The collaboration and support from all sectors have been key to our successes, and I am deeply grateful for everything they have done to support policing in Leicestershire. We have accomplished much, but none of it would have been possible without this outstanding partnership."
He will continue to raise funds in partnership with The Ian and Clare Mattioli Charitable Trust to deliver a Memorial Garden at police headquarters, honouring the dedication of all those who have served in policing.
He said: "Policing has been one of the most rewarding careers I could imagine, and I’m incredibly proud of all we’ve accomplished together. While I will step away from day-to-day leadership, I look forward to remaining involved in supporting national and local improvements and continuing to contribute in new ways in the future."
