Chris, collar number 6524, joined the police service in 2003 and retired in 2018. He worked as the Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) since the introduction of the role and was the Neighbourhood PSCO for Quorn and the neighbouring villages of Woodhouse, Woodhouse Eaves and Ulverscroft. On his retirement Chris said "I have endeavoured to provide a point of contact within the community and a visible presence in the villages that the beat covered".
