Police Constable (PC) Kevin Green from Newmarket Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) is due to retire on Tuesday 9th March 2010 after 30 years service with Suffolk Constabulary. His wife, Special Inspector Helen Green, is organising his last police surgery as an opportunity to bid farewell to the community he has served.

PC Kevin Green started his career with Suffolk Constabulary in 1980 at Sudbury but spent the majority of his career in Newmarket. He has been a beat officer, response officer and more recently part of the Newmarket SNT covering the town centre and All Saints. PC Green has also given up his free time to train Special Constabulary officers at Newmarket. He has also continued to support the Air Cadets, an organisation he previously volunteered with as a Warrant Officer and where two of his daughters are current members.

Special Inspector Helen Green says, "When members of the public, shop owners and local businesses started finding out that Kevin was retiring they asked me if any kind of event was being held so they could thank him in person for all the hard work he has done for the area. I can truthfully say that he is well known in the community and many members of the public have told me he will be greatly missed as he is so approachable for all age groups."

PC Kevin Green has been married to Special Inspector Helen Green for nearly 25 years and has three daughters. His hobbies include swimming, reading, boating and DIY.

PC Kevin Green’s last police surgery is being held at the Memorial Hall in High Street on Monday 8th March at 11am. Members of the public are encouraged to come along.
