Sacked Sussex Chief Constable Paul Whitehouse and his family are selling their house and leaving the county.
The chief's six-bedroom Victorian home in Lewes is on the market for £600,000. He told our reporter: "We are moving to somewhere in the North-West."
The move could happen before his official tenure as chief ends in September.
Mr Whitehouse was ordered home and told not to work his notice by the Sussex Police Authority after Home Secretary David Blunkett forced him to retire following criticism over the police's fatal shooting of an unarmed man in Hastings.
Mr Whitehouse said he was still considering defending his reputation but added: "I have irons in the fire but I am not going to say anything yet."
