In the real world, you take the resignation and move on. Not pay the guy an extra £250k and stick an extra £75k in his pension pot. Just so you can say you sacked him. Total waste of resources.
The police should be concentrating on finding and rooting out their bad apples. Not posturing for years wasting resources about one who is admitting he needs to leave.
