Statement issued on behalf of PCC Lorne Green

The statement below is issued by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk today on behalf of PCC Lorne Green:

“I take enormous pride in serving the Norfolk community as its Police and Crime Commissioner. I take even greater pride in being a dad and granddad.

"My wife and I have had a recent major and welcome change in family circumstances. Our elder son, his wife and two young grandchildren have returned to live in Norfolk in recent months after an absence abroad of 12 years.

"Our younger son was married in recent weeks and he and his wife are returning to live and work here after living abroad for some years.

"My wife and I want to devote more time together to supporting and enjoying our family.

"Accordingly I will not be seeking re-election at the next Police and Crime Commissioner election in 2020. I will, of course continue to serve the Norfolk community with undiminished commitment and enthusiasm until that time.”
