Mr Parr joined Sussex Police in 1991 after beginning his career with the Metropolitan Police.

His career in Sussex saw him hold positions across the county, including in Crawley, Gatwick, Bognor Regis and Brighton and Hove.

In June 2007, Mr Parr made national headlines when he announced plans to deploy extra officers on the streets of Brighton during full moons after linking levels of violent crime and the lunar cycle.

His death led to tributes from Sussex Police Chief Constable Martin Richards, who described him as a "popular and valued member of our team" in a message to officers.
