Retired police officer Dan Mitford returned to Northumbria Police in a new role
A DEDICATED former police officer returned to a force after only three months of retirement.
Retired Dan Mitford returned to Northumbria Police as a multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH) manager following a successful career as an officer.
Mr Mitford always knew he wanted to be in policing.
His father was a police officer and when Mr Mitford was 17 he joined the Metropolitan Police cadets.
After spending most of his career in Northumbria, he wasn't quite ready to give up on his policing roots come his retirement in September last year.
He said: "The one thing I have found working in policing for over 30 years is that working jointly and sharing information gives us a big and more specialised platform to work from.
