I was thinking along similar lines to Wilders though. I can't be bothered to trawl back through all the postings, but I remember TwoS*its discussing what sort of things he is involved in, and me thinking that he must be about Inspector/Chief Inspector level.
IF he made it to WO in the RAFP, I am surprised he would have left much before his early/mid forties. The police also retire at the age of 55. Not bad going to get abouve Sgt in a max of 15 years, despite joining at the age of at least 40 (and being more unattractive for promotion than a young thruster who has time to get to the top).
Or perhaps his fantasies are running away with themselves and he is actually a 'retired' SAC/A/cpl who is a 'revenue protection officer' at the local Arndale centre.
