The following is a message from John SEVERN to NARPO Members. It is self explanatory.

I am informing you of the death of John Harry DEAN retired inspector aged 81 on 13th August 2025 at City hospital.  While John was not a NARPO member himself, but several of his friends and colleagues are.
His funeral will be at the Sherwood crem, Ollerton, at 4pm Friday 19th September 2025.  Friends and former colleagues welcome.

John joined the County force and was Pc 367 I believe before becoming 1167 when the city county combined later in his service.  John serves at Worksop, Blisthorpe, Newark, Southwell, Dishforth ( as trainer and course Inspector), Hucknall, and Mansfield before retiring. John worked mainly in uniform but was on Newark CID before being promoted to Sgt at Southwell.

John leaves wife Margaret, his daughters, grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Thanks Rob Severn (son in law of John)

Our thoughts are extended to the family at this sad time.

NARPO have been informed of the sad death of Retired Officer Pc203 Kamaljit Kaur MAAN aged 58 yrs who has passed away after a very long illness on a date as yet unknown.

Kam as she was known joined to Police Service in September 1988 and was forcibly retired following a serious RTC on duty in May 1991. Shortly after this she was diagnosed with terminal cancer a battle which was long and relentless.

Sadly I have very little further detail as I am trying to contact Kam’s daughter Maia with little success at the moment. If anyone has Maia’s contact details I would be obliged of she would contact me.

The only other detail I do have is that her funeral is at Gedling Crematorium, Catfoot Lane, Lambley, Nottingham at 12 midday Saturday 20th September 2025 followed by a Celebration of her Life at The Radcliffe NG12 1AW.

Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.
