She leaves a police force barely recognisable from the one she joined as a fresh-faced Pc on September 16 1991.
But as she retires following a remarkable 30-year career, Suffolk is saying a sad farewell to one of its most dedicated and experienced officers who has truly made a lifetime s difference to fighting crime.
Insp Becky Kidd-Stanton - Suffolk s longest-serving inspector - had her heart set on a police career from a young age, turning down the chance to go to university to apply to join the boys in blue at 18 and a half years old.
