WILTSHIRE'S emergency planning chief Mark Kimberlin is returning to work almost a year after he was suspended during a police porn investigation.
Mr Kimberlin, 47, was suspended by Wiltshire County Council following his arrest in January as part of Interpol's dragnet Operation Ore aimed at finding internet paedophiles.
It was understood that a computer was seized from Mr Kimberlin's home in Westbury.
He has now been told that the Crown Prosecution Service has decided there is no case to answer.
Wiltshire police declined to comment on the arrest while investigations were continuing, but it emerged this week the Crown Prosecution Service is not proceeding with any allegations against the emergency planner.
Mr Kimberlin has not been available to comment.
His employers issued the following statement: "Mark Kimberlin is the Wiltshire County Council head of emergency planning.
"County council policy required that he was suspended when he was the subject of a police inquiry earlier this year. Suspension in these circumstances does not imply any guilt or wrong-doing."
