ABOUT USWe were formed in 1947 and we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee in 2007.
It is known that the founder member and first Secretary was in 1947, Thomas Joseph Kennedy, an ex Inspector at Matlock and he continued in this office until 27th March, 1963. The Chairman was W. B. Clews and both worked diligently towards an efficient branch. On 6th February 1956 the first invitation was extended to the Chief Constable, W. E. Pitts, to attend a meeting on Sunday 18th March, which he did. He was invited to become President of the branch to which he agreed and the practice continues to this day. Our present Chairman is Len Smith who was elected in 1987 and the present Secretary is Sean Murphy.

25/05/12 Lecturing on Cruise Ships
In February NARPO advised members that there was an opportunity for retired Police officers to speak on cruise ships on Police and General interest topics.
This resulted in eight former officers now cruising and the formation of the Cruise Lecturers Association.
The association has 35 members, all ex police, but due to new demand from Carnival Cruises we are seeking to increase Associates to 50.
There is a fee of £125 refundable if a cruise is not offered within a year and a charge of £30 per day for the lecturer and guest.
The association has negotiated generous discounts on parking, drinks, on board purchases and excursions. Full passenger facilities are provided.
If you feel that this may be of interest. Please email Gordon Parr at parrgor@aol.co.ukor phone Southport 01704 560 600.

22/05/12 'Pension Matters' and the Ombudsman
Hi All,
You will recall at the recent NEC Meeting during a discussion on ‘Pension Matters’ the question of the current position in respect of retired Fire Fighters and Police Officer complaints in respect of commutation factors was once again discussed.
I explained that I had been in contact with the Pension Ombudsman’s Office once again for a statement about the current position with these complaints. As a direct result of that correspondence a clarifying statement now appears on the Pension Ombudsman’s web site. The below link to our web page has the direct link to the Ombudsman’s statement which I believe covers the points raised in our discussions.
http://www.narpo.org/index.php/pensions/police-pensions.html
Once on our web page there is a link to Pension Ombudsman’s statement immediately following first comment on that page.
Alternatively go to www.narpo.org – click on ‘Pensions’ then‘Police Pensions’ to find the link.
I hope this helps
