A video of a popular Avon and Somerset police officer signing off for the last time has been shared widely on social media.

PC Adrian Secker, 53, affectionately known as Adge by colleagues and the city community, was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) at the end of 2018.

One of his colleagues recorded his emotional leaving speech today, and uploaded the footage to Twitter.


Born in High Wycombe, he fulfilled his childhood dream, signing up to become a police officer in 1989, initially stationed in Bishopsworth and Broadbury Road, transferring to Bath as beat manager for Snow Hill and then the city centre team.

He spent time as a response officer, the rural action team at Keynsham in plain clothes on drugs operations.
