It is with sadness that I report the death of Retired Police Sergeant 308 James KIRTON who sadly passed away in a Care Home on the 26th December 2025, after a long illness. He was 88 years of age.
James joined the Police Service in February 1958 and retired in the Rank of Sergeant in July 1988. He served at Carlton, Calverton, Southwell and Newark in the Rank of Sergeant.
He leaves his wife Sandra. There were no children.
There will be no formal funeral. James elected for a Direct Cremation which will be on a date to be fixed between family and the Undertakers who are Ken Gregory Funeral Services of Dalestorth Road, Skegby, Nottinghamshire.
Our thoughts and condolences are extended to Sandra at this very sad time.

I was sad to hear of Jim’s passing. He was my sergeant at Southwell, back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, and though we dealt with some of ‘the Job’s’ difficult issues together, we also found time to enjoy plenty of laughs. I remember him not just as a steady bloke but as a thoroughly decent human being. My sincere condolence to his wife, Sandra. RIP Jim.
