John Caldwell retires from PSNI on ‘medical grounds’

At the time, police said the primary focus of their investigation was on violent dissident republicans, including the New IRA.

The New IRA later claimed responsibility in a typed statement which appeared in Londonderry.

In a statement on Thursday, PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher said: “John was the subject of a cowardly and murderous attack in 2023, and we thank him for his bravery, commitment, and service to the public.

“We wish him all the very best in the future.”

Mr Caldwell was recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours in 2023 and later awarded the King’s Police Medal for distinguished services in the police force.

Speaking in November, Mr Caldwell said he was still recovering from his injuries.

“I’ve been impacted, obviously, by the attack upon me; I was shot nine times. I’m still recovering from those injuries,” he said.

“The recovery is going very well.”
