  17. Assistant Chief Constable 'would prefer to be remembered for behind-the-scenes work'published at 12:59 British Summer Time 30 August 2016

    Julian Sturdy
    BBC Look East

    One of the Assistant Chief Constable of Norfolk and Suffolk constabularies, Sarah Hamlin, isn’t someone who has tried to court controversy online during her successful career.

    So much so that I stopped following her Twitter account a while ago, even though it was hugely supportive of police colleagues and full of positives about the forces.

    So like others in the newsroom, it was a surprise to read today’s tweet that her “values no longer fit the organisation”. Perhaps she did not mean the comment to sound like a bitter parting shot against Norfolk Police.

    Amid a number of requests for interview from national journalists sniffing a controversy, it was quickly clarified by another tweet explaining that she was simply retiring, as most officers do after 30 years’ service.

    Sarah Hamlin has risen uncontroversially through the ranks and seemed destined for a top job. 

    She would prefer to be remembered for the quiet work she’s done behind the scenes to change the organisation and help the rank and file.

    But if values aren’t being met, and she wants to talk, then explaining all would be a greater legacy still.
