The Police Dependants’ Trust (PDT)

The Police Dependants’ Trust exists to assist in cases of need: dependants of police officers or former police officers who die or have died as a result of an injury received in the execution of duty; and police officers or former police officers who are, or have been incapacitated as a result of an injury received in the execution of duty.

The Trust was set up following the murder by armed criminals of three police officers at Shepherds Bush in 1966. The late Sir William Butlin, at the time anonymously, gave £100,000 for the establishment of a trust to help in cases where police officers were killed or injured on duty. Public reaction to the crime was such that the fund soon increased to more than £1⁄4 million.

The Police Dependants’ Trust was formally constituted by the signing of the Trust Deed on 21 December 1966 and registration with the Charity Commission in January 1967.

The Trust is honoured with the patronage of HM The Queen.

Shortly after the formal establishment of the Trust, an appeal was launched to raise £1 million to ensure sufficient income to help existing and future beneficiaries. The appeal was successful but growing demands on the Trust make it necessary to continue building up the Trust’s resources to provide for future requirements.

Hymn / Emyn – God is Love: let heav’n adore him; Words: Timothy Rees Tune: ‘Hyfrydol’ R.H.Pritchard

God is Love: let heav’n adore him; God is Love: let earth rejoice; Let creation sing before him, And exalt him with one voice. He who laid the earth’s foundation, he who spread the heav’ns above, he who breathes through all creation, he is Love, eternal Love.

God is Love: and he enfoldeth all the world in one embrace; with unfailing grasp he holdeth every child of every race. And when human hearts are breaking under sorrow’s iron rod, then they find that selfsame aching deep within the heart of God.

God is Love: and though with blindness sin afflicts the souls of men, God’s eternal loving-kindness holds and guides them even then. Sin and death and hell shall never o’er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever o’er the universe must reign.

The Bidding and opening prayers Led by – Revd Gethin Abraham-Williams, former General Secretary, Churches Together in Wales: CYTUN

We meet here today to remember before God the men and women of our police service who laid down their lives in the service of their country, to honour them and give thanks for their sacrifice. We also hold before God their families, friends and colleagues; all who are bereaved and mourn the loss of their loved ones.

Jesus said to his disciples, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.’

Almighty God, who through the death of your dear Son Jesus Christ redeemed the world, setting us free from the slavery of sin and death; comfort us as we mourn the loss of loved ones who have laid down their lives in the cause of justice. Dispel the darkness of grief with the light of your love. Strengthen us with the grace of your Holy Spirit that we may continue to strive for the cause of right, and that, following the good example of those who served you and are now at rest, we may at last enter into the fullness of your eternal glory. Amen.

Confident that neither life nor death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, let us pray as he taught us:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen

Bible Reading –Psalm 23 [New King James Version] Read by – Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister

Almost 3000 years ago, The Psalmist wrote a few lines of poetry that have endured through the ages. It is perhaps the best loved and most often repeated poem in the Western World. It is used most often at a time like this for our comfort and stability.

The LORD the Shepherd of His People The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

This is the Word of the Lord ALL: Thanks be to God

Reading – Beannacht / Blessing Read by – Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Home Secretary

On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you. And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window and the ghost of loss gets in to you, may a flock of colours, indigo, red, green, and azure blue come to awaken in you a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays in the currach of thought and a stain of ocean blackens beneath you, may there come across the waters a path of yellow moonlight to bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours, may the clarity of light be yours, may the fluency of the ocean be yours, may the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life. John O’Donohue

“Holding Precious Memories”

The Reverend Canon David Wilbraham, National Police Chaplain, Force Chaplain, Thames Valley Police Sergeant Joe Holness QPM, Kent Police, Founder, National Police Memorial Day – reflecting on the past ten years of National Police Memorial Day and the lives of those we remember.

PRAYERS / GWEDDIAU

Mr Terry Spence QPM, Chairman, Police Federation of Northern Ireland

Father in heaven, we give you thanks for those we remember this day. We praise you as we recollect their lives and cherish their memory. We bless you that in bearing your image they brought light to our lives, for we have seen; in their friendship reflections of your compassion, in their integrity demonstrations of your goodness, in their faithfulness glimpses of your eternal love. When we are hurt by our parting from those we loved: when we are angry at the loss we have sustained, when we long for words of comfort, yet find them hard to hear, turn our grief to truer living, and our affliction to firmer hope in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Natalie Hughes, step-mother of PC Nicola Hughes [Greater Manchester Police]

Please don't mourn for me; I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight– I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach – I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach. I'm the colourful leaves when autumn comes around, And the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond— The clear cool water in a quiet still pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring; The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, And you’ll see that face in the moon, - well, that’s mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you, You can talk to me in the sky above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on baby's face. Just look for me, I'm every place ! Author Unknown

Chief Superintendent Irene Curtis, President, Police Superintendents’ Association of England and Wales

Lord God we pray for all who suffer as a result of conflict, and pray for your peace: We bring before you all those who faithfully serve in the Police Forces of our nation and strive to keep communities safe.

We pray for peace-makers and peace-keepers, who seek to keep this world secure and free; for all who bear the burden and privilege of leadership; asking for gifts of wisdom and resolve in the search for justice, peace and wholeness.

On this the tenth anniversary of National Police Memorial Day we thank you for the vision that founded it; the commitment that sustains it and for the lives of all those officers it honours. As we are united in our shared loss and grief so may we also together pledge never to forget. Lord hear our prayer. Amen

Silence for our own prayers.

Merciful Father Accept these prayers For the sake of your Son, Our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hymn / Emyn – Father Lord of all creation Words: Stewart Cross Tune: ’Abbot’s Leigh’ Cyril Taylor [1941]

Father, Lord of all creation, ground of Being, Life and Love: height and depth beyond description only life in you can prove: you are mortal life's dependence thought, speech, sight are ours by grace. Yours is every hour's existence sovereign Lord of time and space.

Jesus Christ, the Man for Others we, your people, make our prayer give us grace to love as sisters all whose burdens we can share. Where your name binds us together you, Lord Christ, will surely be; where no selfishness can sever there your love may others see.

Holy Spirit, rushing, burning wind and flame of Pentecost, fire our hearts afresh with yearning to regain what we have lost. May your love unite our action, nevermore to speak alone: God, in us abolish faction God, through us your love make known.

Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong deliverer, strong deliverer; Be thou still my strength and shield; Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to thee; I will ever give to thee.

President of the Association of Chief Police Officers, Sir Hugh Orde said: “The National Police Memorial Day provides an opportunity for the whole police family to come together and remember police officers who have died protecting the communities they served.

“Today is particularly poignant as the losses of PCs Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes in Greater Manchester and PC Ian Dibell in Essex are still so raw.

“The tributes to these officers have shown policing was a true vocation for them.

“We have heard that it was a job Fiona and Nicola loved, and Ian showed his commitment to protecting others even when off-duty, as so many police officers routinely do.

“We commemorate them and their contribution to policing, along with those that the police family has lost in the past. Our thoughts are with their families, friends and colleagues.”

Sergeant Holness said: “This annual memorial was long overdue when we set it up. Since 1792 officers have been giving their lives in order to protect the community they serve. We felt that it was time to pay tribute to them in the same way members of the armed forces honour their fallen colleagues.

National Police Memorial Day has grown to be one of the most important dates in the policing calendar. Former Chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, Les Gray, said: “It is a very moving occasion. Anyone who goes can’t help being moved by it. It is good for the families when they see their relatives have not been forgotten and how well thought of they were.”

Former Chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, Paul McKeever, said: “It is, and always will be, vitally important to recognise the sacrifice that police officers make. It is a chance to recognise that some pay the ultimate price for their service.

“Police officers across the country walk the line every day to protect the public. A day of reflection and remembrance is our small way of paying that back.”

The Crown Finial The 2011 service marked the attachment of a spectacular Crown Finial for the National Police Memorial Day Standard. It is made from sterling silver and comes from the heart of Tipperary, where the first RUC Officer to be killed on duty is buried. The Crown is adorned with precious stones from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Eire. The Crown’s creator is retired Garda Officer, Joe Fanning, whose tireless work is greatly appreciated by National Police Memorial Day.

International Police Association Tom Crozier, President, Section UK Section UK of the IPA is proud of its links to the National Police Memorial Day charity. The NPMD service provides each of us with an opportunity to recall colleagues who have died in the course of their duties; an opportunity for expressions of genuine sorrow and thanks for their contribution. It also provides time for reflection and a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to our calling and to the fraternal ties that so evidently bind across all Police services. These same sentiments are reflective of the underpinning ethos of the IPA.

Founded in Lincolnshire in January 1950 and with a current membership of over 400,000 across 63 national sections, IPA is the largest Artistic montage by Terry Flint worldwide friendship organisation in existence.

Dave Taylor and Mark Faunt of North Yorkshire Police, Darren Edwards from Lancashire Constabulary and Bill Lloyd of GMP have secured the assistance of a great many US colleagues along Route 50. The car, affectionately known as Stan the Panda, was last in the headlines after its appearance at the World Police and Fire Games at Belfast in August.

You will have an opportunity to see Stan at the memorial service in Cardiff. Fundraising is already well underway and I hope that you can lend your support, by visiting Stan and buying some merchandise or making a donation.

All proceeds will go to our own NPMD charity, and all personal expenses incurred in taking the car to the US and during the course of the ‘Stan the Panda’ with Bill Lloyd, Stormont, Belfast cross country drive will be met by the individuals involved and will not detract from the fundraising. www.iparoute50.org

In conclusion, IPA is privileged to be associated with the NPMD and grateful to Joe for embracing our efforts in support of the charity and the families and colleagues that it exists to support, recognise and remember.

Mackenzie left a Force that was unrecognisable from the one he had inherited from Chief Constable Jeremiah Box Stockdale.

During Mackenzie’s time in charge the Cardiff Force had more than doubled in number from 140 to 291 men. Pay and conditions of service were greatly improved and the Fire Service had been reorganised into one of the smartest and most efficient in the provinces.

In honour of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice

Throughout the United Kingdom there are many groups and memorials to honour those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. These groups or trusts have been established by police officers or members of the public who have been affected by the death of an officer. The following pages give a description of some of the main family support groups, police charities and memorial sites that honour fallen officers. National Police Memorial Day Established to; • Remember police officers who have been killed or died on duty • Demonstrate to relatives, friends and colleagues of fallen officers that their sacrifice is not forgotten • Recognise annually the dedication to duty and courage displayed by officers

National Police Memorial Day is a registered charity and was founded by Kent Police Sergeant Joe Holness following the killing of one of his colleagues, Constable Jon Odell at Margate in December 2000. Joe said at the time that the death of Jon had “deeply affected everyone in Kent Police” and it became his ambition that there should be a National Memorial Service to remember all fallen officers.

He specifically wanted it to honour colleagues who have been killed or died on duty to demonstrate to relatives, colleagues and friends of fallen officers that their sacrifice is not forgotten and to recognise annually the dedication to duty and courage displayed by police officers. Joe Holness embarked on a tireless campaign and his quiet determination finally paid dividends in 2004 with the inaugural service taking place in London at St Paul’s Cathedral.

The day has grown to be an important event, regarded by Government and Royalty as the primary police charity to honour and remember our fallen colleagues. HRH the Prince of Wales became the Patron in 2006. National Police Memorial Day takes place annually and rotates around the four countries of the United Kingdom.

Joe Holness was deservedly presented with the QPM in 2008; both he and his wife Sharon strive inspirationally all year raising money and keeping in touch with the families of fallen officers. For many, the day has become an annual pilgrimage to recognise the best of all human qualities – selfless and devoted courage.

Police Dependants’ Trust (PDT) The Police Dependants’ Trust was established in 1966 following the murder of three Metropolitan Police Officers by armed criminals, and an initial gift of £100,000 from the late Sir Billy Butlin.

The Police Dependants’ Trust exists to assist in cases of need: dependants of police officers or former police officers who die or have died as a result of an injury received in the execution of duty; and police officers or former police officers who are, or have been incapacitated as a result of an injury received in the execution of duty.

We also make grants to charities that have as their objective the relief of sickness, or mental and physical disabilities, of police officers, or former police officers. For example, the Trust has given grants to both the Southern and Northern Police Convalescent Homes towards the cost of the building extensions.

Applications are normally made through the local welfare department or Police Federation Branch Board. Should you experience difficulties, please contact the Trust.

The Royal Ulster Constabulary - Police Service of Northern Ireland Benevolent Fund (RUC-PSNI Benevolent Fund)

For over four decades, the RUC Benevolent Fund has addressed the needs of the wider police family in Northern Ireland. It could be argued that no other police Benevolent Fund within the UK has endured similar suffering, pain or grief over a sustained period of time.

Within the Fund we pride ourselves on being able to deliver a wide spectrum of benefits and assistance to our widows and dependants, retired colleagues, serving members and student officers.

From those early days in 1969 when members of the public donated money to be used for the comfort of injured officers, our Fund has developed from this firm foundation enabling us to extend our help to include a wide range of services from grants, financial assistance and rehabilitation facilities to leisure support in the form of our holiday apartments in Portrush and by 2010, Kesh Co Fermanagh.

In May of this year, to enable the Fund to continue to evolve within the ever changing police family, the Management Committee decided that in view of recent events the time was right to reconsider the title of the Fund. It was therefore agreed that the RUC Benevolent Fund should evolve to include PSNI within the title.

It is therefore now entitled, The Royal Ulster Constabulary-Police Service of Northern Ireland Benevolent Fund (RUC-PSNI Benevolent Fund).

The Fund continues to support ex members of the RUCGC, PSNI, widows/partners and dependants thereof, injured and disabled officers, as well as members of the PSNI who find themselves in financial hardship or difficulty. In all instances a case of need must be identified.

Charity The Royal Ulster Constabulary - Police Service of Northern Ireland Benevolent Fund (Charity No. XN48380) is a charity that aims to address the most deserving cases. All the requests that come before the Management Committee are confidential and each case is very carefully considered on its merits.

Funds As we are a charity, the work of the Fund depends on voluntary donations. All contributions, great or small, are most appreciated. If you or your team wish to support the Fund we can be contacted as follows:

Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross Widows’ Association The RUC GC Widows’ Association was formed in 1980 to promote, through their affinity with each other, health, leisure and companionship for police widows. The primary aim of the association is to improve the quality of life for police widows and their families.

The Association was formed to support widows coping with their children in welfare and educational matters where necessary. The aim of the central committee of the association is to organise events and provide comfort and support for widows and their families. The central committee members are elected from within the association and meet on a frequent basis.

Royal Ulster Constabulary George Cross Foundation The Foundation was created by virtue of Section 70 of the Police (NI) Act 2000 for the purpose of “marking the sacrifices and honouring the achievements of the Royal Ulster Constabulary”. It commenced work in December 2001. The functions of the Foundation allow it to look back on a long, proud history of policing and to look forward by supporting current serving officers. In particular, it will remember sacrifice and service and preserve the name of the RUC GC in the policing world.

In April 2002 the Foundation was privileged and pleased to announce that HRH The Prince of Wales had agreed to become it's Patron.

To mark the foundation of the Royal Ulster Constabulary on 1 June 1922 the Trustees of the Foundation have declared the first Sunday in June each year to be “Royal Ulster Constabulary GC Day”.

An inter-denominational church service held on this day will celebrate the service and sacrifice of the RUC family and remind the wider community that the peace they now enjoy was bought at a cost. A specially composed “RUCGC Prayer” will be read at this and other appropriate police welfare events. It is intended that this service will be an annual event. Admission will be by ticket only and tickets may be obtained by email or by phone from the RUCGC Foundation Office after 1 April. A maximum of four tickets will be issued for each application.

Memorial Garden The Garden, which is situated at Brooklyn, 65 Knock Road, Belfast, provides a major tribute to policing in Ireland. It, in particular, marks the service and sacrifice of RUC officers and offers a unique three-dimensional experience unparalleled anywhere in the world. The Royal Ulster Constabulary GC Garden has moved away from the traditional concept of a war memorial, adopting a more contemporary aspect and allows people to take different experiences from their visits. It includes an historical walk, featuring benches and plaques to create what designers are calling a “history timeline” marking important dates in the history of the RUC. The needs of the disabled, visually impaired, hard of hearing and other specialist groups are accommodated in the new garden.

In the more private part of the garden, a “Roll of Honour” inscribed on granite tablets, includes names of all officers who died: in service as a direct result of terrorism; in service but not directly related to terrorism; out of service but directly related to terrorism and Police Authority staff who died as a result of terrorism. Commemorative plaques also acknowledge the support given to the RUC by the Ulster Special Constabulary, the Armed Services, the Emergency Services and Support Services, and the wider Police Family.

The list of names commences on 1st June 1922 and ends on 3rd November 2001 after which the Royal Ulster Constabulary GC changed to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The George Cross Foundation has responsibility for the upkeep of this Garden and will also have responsibility for a new purpose built police museum, which will be erected beside the Garden.

2012 marks the 90th anniversary of the formation of the RUC GC and a series of events are planned to mark its service to the community. For information email [email protected]

Northern Ireland Disabled Police Officers Association The Association's objectives are to promote the relief and benefit of the members of the Disabled Police Officers Association of Northern Ireland (hereinafter called the Association) who have received serious personal injury whether physical or mental whilst in service with the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve or the Police Service of Northern Ireland by the provision of rehabilitation with the object of preserving and protecting the health of and improving the conditions of life of such members of the Association.

The DPOA was established in May 1983 by a small number of members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and Royal Ulster Constabulary Reserve who had been maimed and injured as a result of the ‘Troubles’. Set up originally as a support group whereby officers who had sustained serious injury on duty could get together and share their experiences and support each other. Formerly constituted in 1989 with Charity status the Association continued to grow.

Many changes occurred over the next 12 years; including the disbandment of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the birth of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, this necessitated the changing of the original Constitution to include members of the PSNI. 16th June 2001 saw the end of the old DPOA, to be replaced the following day by the DPOA NI. A newly restructured charitable organisation established. Governed by a board of Directors trained in the running of a charitable organization and co-ordinated by a full time professional business manager the Association is recognized by its peer groups as a model of good practice.

The current membership of the DPOA comprises 240 members. Many have suffered appalling injuries not only at the hands of terrorists but also while carrying out normal policing duties. Our injured officers are from all backgrounds possible, men and women, Catholic and Protestant who were serving ALL sections of the community. People who put their lives (and the lives of their families) in danger of terrorist attack, both on and off duty, simply by joining the Police Force to serve the community. Support is also available for the 225 spouses, carers and dependents of the members, often the carers are forgotten, lives become irrevocably changed and many wives become primary carers for disabled husbands and indeed in some cases husbands for wives.

The Disabled Police Officers Association is a registered Charity - Number XR12274 and a Company Limited by Guarantee NI 43461. Various projects are grant aided by the Northern Ireland Police Fund, the European Union Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation through the Community Foundation NI, the Community Relations Council and by voluntary donations.

Scottish Police Memorial The Scottish Police Memorial was created from a vision by the families and the service to provide a fitting tribute to those police officers lost in the line of duty. It is a tribute to the price paid for protecting society. The memorial serves as a tangible indication for those left behind.

The Scottish Police Memorial is an everlasting symbol located within the grounds of the Scottish Police College at Tulliallan Castle in Fife

The names of deceased officers are engraved on marble; some dating back as far as 1770. It is the first time, in Scotland, that their sacrifice has been publicly recognised and displayed.

The Scottish Police College provides the complete national police training package for every rank throughout their career. It was therefore deemed appropriate that this location was chosen to provide a continual reminder of these sacrifices.

Persons wishing to visit the memorial can do so between 0900-1700 daily.

Care of Police Survivors (COPS) COPS is a UK registered charity dedicated to helping the families of police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, rebuild their lives. It aims to ensure that survivors have all the help they need to cope with such a tragedy, and that they remain part of the police family.

COPS enable survivors to help survivors. Only another survivor can fully understand what new survivors endure, and that shared experience is the basis for the peer support programme.

COPS aims to build a network of survivors throughout the UK. The extent of help provided will be controlled by the new survivor. Sometimes an understanding listener is needed. Sometimes more practical help is required. Whatever the need, COPS will be able to put survivors in touch with those who truly understand.

COPS is independent of the police service. It is operated entirely by survivors caring for other survivors.

COPS was founded in March 2003 by Jim McNulty and Christine Fulton. Jim was a retired police officer from Strathclyde Police. Christine is the widow of PC Lewis Fulton who was murdered on duty in Glasgow in 1994. Christine’s experience of that tragedy gave her a unique understanding of the overwhelming grief and confusion that is encountered by new survivors. Current president, Sue Brace, makes contact with the survivors of every new line of duty death, explaining what COPS does and inviting survivors to make contact when they are ready for such support.

The Police Memorial Trust The Police Memorial Trust is a charitable organisation based in London. The trust’s objective is to erect memorials to police officers killed in the line of duty, on the spot where they met their death to act as a permanent reminder to the public of the sacrifice they made.

The Police Memorial Trust was the brainchild of film producer, Michael Winner after the fatal shooting of WPC Yvonne Fletcher (April 17, 1984). Mr Winner wrote a letter to the editor of The Times newspaper, suggesting a memorial be erected in WPC Fletcher’s honour. After receiving donations from members of the public Michael Winner created the Police Memorial Trust in 1984. The trust’s first memorial was to WPC Fletcher. It was unveiled by the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in St James’s Square London at the site of the shooting.

The Trust’s third memorial, and the first to be erected outside London, was sited at the seafront at Frinton-on-Sea in Essex. This was the spot where PC Brian Bishop was fatally shot by an armed robber on August 22, 1984. PC Bishop’s memorial was unveiled by then Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd, on February 19, 1986.

A number of memorials in honour of police officers killed on duty have been placed throughout the United Kingdom. The National Police Memorial, sited in St. James’s Park at the junction of Horse Guards Road and The Mall, was unveiled on April 26, 2005 by Queen Elizabeth II on behalf of the Police Memorial Trust.

Steve Rawson Police Constable Hampshire Constabulary Died 3 April 2013, aged 40

Whilst riding an unmarked police motorcycle in Southampton his motorbike was hit by a car.

PC Steven “Slim” Rawson died suddenly whilst on duty on 3rd April 2013, aged 40 years. He was married to Kerry, less than one month before he died and together they had a four year old daughter and a seven month old son. His family have described him as a ‘unique person, with a huge character and personality’. He was highly intelligent with an outstanding memory. He was a real ‘peoples person’ loving to socialise, to meet new people and to assimilate new knowledge. He was highly skilled in his job, with so many people in awe of his skills. But, above all, he was a passionate family man, with a desire to do ‘right’ for his family, to bring his children up with the correct morals and beliefs to stand them in good stead for a successful life. A brilliant, loving father and husband to be proud of, a hero, who is missed every moment of every day. A father, a son, a brother and an uncle who will be missed deeply by his family.

Steve joined Hampshire Police as a staff controller in March 1996, and worked at the Force control room until 2003.

He became a PC on 3rd March 2003, serving at Hedge End for four years, undertaking several different roles as a uniform officer. He then transferred to Hampshire’s Major Investigation Team (HMIT) in April 2007, where he was a valued member of the team contributing to multiple successful investigations.

Detective Superintendent Dick Pearson, head of HMIT said: “PC Rawson was an integral member of HMIT. He was a well-respected, larger than life character who was dedicated to his job. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.”

In paying tribute to Steve, Chief Constable Andy Marsh said: “Policing is a vocation that people are passionate about because it is about making a real difference to the communities we serve. It also, thank goodness remains a job with a very strong sense of team, camaraderie, and occasionally fun.

“Steve contributed all of these characteristics in huge measure. He was doing a job he loved that was incredibly important; protecting

30 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:04 Page 31

our communities from the most dangerous and organised of criminals. This is vital work, often unseen by the public and I know that Steve enjoyed it immensely.

“Without the work that Steve was such an important part of, the safety and very fabric of our communities would be under serious threat. Steve’s colleagues all speak of him being a great person to have around the team, passionate, capable, with a strong sense of fun which undoubtedly helped keep people upbeat in a difficult job.

“He will be sorely missed but never forgotten. Hampshire Constabulary is poorer for his loss.”

Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Hayes said: “I never had the pleasure of meeting Steve Rawson, but I know from speaking to colleagues he was an experienced officer dedicated to his duty and determined to protect the public of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

“He was very much valued by members of his team and will be greatly missed by them and the constabulary as a whole. His death has affected us all, and brought home the danger faced by officers in the course of their duty.

“The sadness of Steve's death must be felt mostly by his wife and children. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and his whole family, as they seek to come to terms with their loss. I hope that they may take some comfort from the great wave of support and condolence extended to them by the family that is Hampshire Constabulary.”

John Apter, Chairman of Hampshire Police Federation, said: “The loss of Steve has knocked us all. Many will say that the feeling of being part of the ‘police family’ is a thing of the past but the reaction from officers, staff and the public across the country has shown this not to be the case. The arms of the Police Federation will wrap around Steve's family and support them over the coming months and years.

“PC Steve ‘Slim’ Rawson will remain in our hearts and memory, he will never be forgotten.”

Philippa Reynolds Police Constable Police Service of Northern Ireland Died 9 February 2013, aged 27

Constable Reynolds died instantly when the patrol car she was a rear seat passenger in was struck by a stolen vehicle in Londonderry in the early hours of the morning

Constable Philippa Reynolds was a 27 year old officer in the prime of her life with just two years service. Philippa was from Nutts Corner, Co Antrim and originally qualified as a teacher before leaving the profession to accept a place at the police training college in February 2011.

PSNI district commander Stephen Cargin said Constable Reynolds was “in the prime of her life, beautiful, friendly”.

“(She was) one of the most enthusiastic officers, just a really bubbly personality, somebody who wanted to be a police officer,” he said.

“Her colleagues are devastated, as I am as her commander, as we are as a police service, but she just typifies her colleagues - out there doing a good job.”

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Theresa Villiers said it was a “tragic waste of a young life in sad and reckless circumstances”.

PSNI Chief Constable Matt Baggott said: “She was a superb police officer, the best of the best.

“She was truly inspirational, compassionate, caring, and courageous and wanted to make lives better.

“She showed the sort of kindness and commitment, on many occasions, day in and day out, that can turn around the legacy of years of conflict and bitterness.

“She was the embodiment of what policing aspires to. She wanted to make Londonderry a finer and safer place, working towards building peace in that city.

“The Police Service of Northern Ireland is undoubtedly the finest police force in the world, and Philippa was undoubtedly the best of the best.”

32 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:04 Page 33

Mr Baggott also said that Miss Reynolds had made a huge impression on her colleagues and the public during her short spell in the service.

“She was part of the story of peace building in Londonderry. Peace comes when people show kindness, peace comes when people show caring, and Philippa was part of that story.”

Outside of Policing, Philippa was a keen hockey enthusiast, playing for Owls Ladies. She also had qualifications in both Hockey Coaching and Umpiring. Prior to her posting to Strand Road, Londonderry, Philippa had been an active officer in Muckamore Boys Brigade Junior Section.

Philippa is survived by her father Mervyn, mother Dorothy and two sisters, Nicola and Debra.

Bruce Stevenson Police Constable Derbyshire Constabulary Died 7 January 2013, aged 47

Whilst on duty at Cotton Lane police station he collapsed and died

PC Stevenson worked in the services his whole life. He started in the army, before becoming a civilian driving instructor for the fire service and then going on to join the police force 11 years ago.

His wife Wendy said: “He worked at Peartree, then Ilkeston, and then wanted to come back to the city and moved to Cotton Lane. He loved working for the force and always enjoyed going to work. He was a proud police officer.”

Bruce was described as “hard-working and dedicated” by one of the city's most senior officers.

Section Inspector Kamaljit Singh Bria said: “Bruce was a well- respected officer within Derbyshire Police and the local community.

“Bruce joined Derbyshire Police from the armed services and worked the majority of his policing service from Peartree police station.

“He was loved by everyone and had a reputation of being both dynamic and robust in dealing with incidents.

“Bruce is clearly missed and I don't think we will ever get over the shock of him having suddenly left us.

“We have a memorial plaque placed at Cotton Lane police station in remembrance of Bruce which is a fitting tribute in his memory.”

Superintendent Gary Parkin, who is in charge of policing in Derby, said: “PC Stevenson had served with the force for 11 years, all of which were spent on the front line, protecting the people of Derby.

“He was a hard-working officer who was dedicated to his work. He will be greatly missed by all his friends and colleagues across the force.”

Bruce is survived by his wife Wendy and two children, Ben and Katie.

Andrew Bramma Police Constable North Yorkshire Police Died 5 January 2013, aged 32

Whilst responding to an emergency call, the van he was driving left the road and struck a tree in West Tanfield, near Ripon causing fatal injuries

Andrew was a neighbourhood officer in the Harrogate Safer Neighbourhood Team. He joined Greater Manchester Police in 2008 working as a response officer in Rochdale, in August 2012 he transferred to North Yorkshire Police.

His friends and former colleagues from B relief at GMP’s Rochdale division said: “Andrew was a great police officer and a loving family man. For anyone who knew him, Andrew was meticulous in everything he did, nothing would ever beat him and he would leave no stone unturned to find his answers. Every job he dealt with was always done to A* standard. Andrew leaves us all with many lasting memories - from being such a great friend, to the large amount of hand gel and protective blue gloves he used to go through at work that we teased him about daily, to being a very proud and true Yorkshire man. We were all proud to know and work alongside Andrew and hope to lead by the high example he set for us to follow.”

Police chiefs described Andrew as a “good British police officer” who had a long career ahead of him. Temporary Chief Constable Tim Madgwick, of North Yorkshire Police, said: “He was a fine young officer who had a long career ahead of him. He had all the attributes and skills we need in a young officer. He was conscientious, he was there to protect the public, there to serve the community, and we were confident his career would go from strength to strength and we're just so sorry we've lost a colleague in these circumstances.”

Sgt Mike Stubbs, of North Yorkshire Police Federation said: “Andrew’s death has hit his closest colleagues the hardest but a tragedy like this reverberates throughout not only North Yorkshire Police but throughout the police service and that has been recognised by the tributes we have received from forces around the country. It’s clear that Andrew was a very highly respected officer, I've spoken to his colleagues at Harrogate and his former

36 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:04 Page 37

colleagues at Greater Manchester Police and he was known as a thoroughly professional individual who would always follow an investigation through right until the end. First and foremost, Andrew was a very loving husband, a much-loved father, a much-loved son and a much-loved brother.”

He is survived by his wife Kathryn and their two sons, Jack and Sam.

Anthony ‘Tony’ Sweeney QPM Police Constable West Yorkshire Police Died 27 December 2012, aged 58

Whilst driving home to Harrogate he pulled over and suffered a fatal heart attack.

PC Tony Sweeney served with West Yorkshire Police for nearly two decades. A former soldier, Tony had served for 23 years with the Green Howards before becoming a police officer. He was a neighbourhood officer in Roundhay, Alwoodley and Moortown.

Friends and colleagues will always remember Tony as a dedicated and popular police officer who proudly worked to improve people’s quality of life by reducing crime and anti-social behaviour. His career was marked with many achievements – Tony was recognised as Britain’s top community constable for his work in inner-city Lincoln Green and in 2001 he was awarded the Queen’s Police Medal for his work in the community.

Superintendent Martin Snowden, of North East Leeds Division, said the officer would be keenly missed by his many friends and colleagues at the force.

He added: “His sudden and unexpected death has left all who knew him deeply upset. Tony was a pioneer of neighbourhood policing and campaigner on a range of policing issues. He took a genuine personal pride in his work and loved being at the heart of the community, tackling the issues that impact most on people’s daily lives. After being very seriously injured in a road accident in 2010, he showed resilience and strength of character in the way he battled to get back to fitness. He will be very sadly missed by all of us.”

Tony is survived by his wife, son, daughter and grandchildren.

Adele Cashman Detective Constable Metropolitan Police Died 5 November 2012, aged 30

Responding to a street robbery and whilst in pursuit of two suspects she collapsed in Belsize Park Gardens. She was rushed to the New Free Hospital from the scene but did not recover.

Adele joined the Metropolitan in 2006 and was initially stationed in Wandsworth. In 2010 she moved to Camden as a Detective Constable.

Adele, known to friends as “Delboy” studied at Nottingham Trent University and after becoming a Special Constable with Avon and Somerset Police joined the Metropolitan Police Service in 2006 working as a PC stationed in Wandsworth before transferring to Camden as Detective Constable Cashman in 2010.

Fitness was always a passion and she competed in the Bristol Half Marathon twice. She always wanted to run the London Marathon, which her brother Adam and friends have since run in her memory.

Adele’s family said: “Adele was fun-loving, worked hard and played hard, and always had a fierce sense of right and wrong. She did more in her 30 years than many would do in 70. Adele achieved a lot in her short life, she travelled the world, was well educated and had a great career with the police. We want Adele’s memory to live on forever.”

Her adventures during her travels included everything from bungee jumping to sky diving. Her closest friends recalled her bubbly personality, and no-nonsense approach – how one of her favourite expressions had been “Man-up, it’s not so bad”. It was this sort of stoicism that had made her perfect material as a police officer – she even cancelled her 30th birthday party in order to be able to join her colleagues on the streets during riots in the capital.

Paying tribute to Adele, London Mayor Boris Johnson said: “The death of any police officer is a tragedy, the death of one so young and in pursuit of her duty is doubly tragic.” Offering his condolences to the officer’s family, the mayor added: “It's small comfort I know, but they should be very proud of Adele, and the work she did serving her community.”

40 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:05 Page 41

Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said: “Adele was an eager officer, she was in a crime squad, she was out there chasing criminals, which is I'm sure the reason she joined. She was out there being brave, getting stuck in and then this great tragedy has happened. It is a terrible loss to everybody who knew her.”

Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Tucker said: “She achieved so much, and had so much great potential. The sudden death of Adele, while on duty, was shocking, and gave us all pause for reflection. What Adele did was special – not just another job. Adele was everything the police needed – well educated, well- travelled, and with a great sense of humour. She put a huge amount in, and as a consequence was well respected. She had that key quality – she cared about others. The real success of an individual is not about the amount of money we earn or all the things we have – it’s about the friends you keep and your personal legacy, and Adele was very wealthy in those terms.”

Adele is survived by her parents, Lorraine and Geoff and siblings Adam, Lee, Paul and Danielle.

Scott Bennett Special Constable Lincolnshire Police Died 3 November 2012, aged 24

Travelling to the force’s headquarters for officer safety training he died when his car was in a collision with a lorry in Welton

Special Constable Scott Bennett joined Lincolnshire Constabulary in October 2011 and was stationed at Louth. He died in a road traffic collision on the A46 at Welton on 3rd November – a year to the day after he became a Special Constable with Lincolnshire Police. The 24-year-old was born in Grimsby and went to Welholme Infants School, before going on to Tollbar Business Enterprise College and Grimsby College, where he studied PE, Business Studies and Travel. He also completed a B-Tech in Uniformed Public Services and went on to start a Criminology degree with Lincoln University. He was still studying, whilst working part-time at Asda, at the time of his death. It was his long-term ambition to become a police officer. In his spare time Scott was a cage fighter, who regularly went to Fight Ministry in Grimsby and he also had an interest in taekwondo, jujitsu and kick boxing. Scott will be remembered by his family, partner and friends as a loving, dependable and supporting man who lived his life to the full. His family say he will be missed by a huge amount of people and remembered as someone who could always be relied on for help and support. Scott’s mother said: “He was such an unassuming young man with a charitable nature – he helped so many people, not for the thanks, just because he cared.” His girlfriend, Jenny, said: “Scott was known for his dry, sarcastic sense of humour and the fact that he just got on with his life and lived it to the full. He probably crammed more into 24 years than most people do in 80.” Special Chief Officer Stephen Woodcock said: “We have tragically lost a valued member of our policing family in Lincolnshire. Although Scott had only served for one year he showed commitment to his role, and indeed had been commended by me in August for good work.” Scott is survived by his mother Dawn, father Stephen, brother Shane and girlfriend Jenny.

Nicola Hughes Police Constable Greater Manchester Police Died 18 September 2012, aged 23

PC Nicola Hughes and her colleague, PC Fiona Bone were killed in a gun and grenade attack as they investigated a hoax burglary in Mottram, Tameside, Greater Manchester

Police Constable Hughes was born at the Royal Oldham Hospital in 1988, attended Saddleworth High School and went to Huddersfield University before joining Greater Manchester Police in 2009. Nicola served three years with Tameside division.

Her family said: “She was doing a job she loved. She was always happy with life and lived for her family.

“We have always been exceedingly proud of Nicola and always will be. She knew she was loved by us all and we shall all miss her dreadfully. Nicola always wanted to make a difference and, in doing so, she made such a big difference to everyone she knew. She cared about everyone and especially her colleagues."

Fellow officers described her as ‘very bubbly, loved life and socialising’ and ‘as brave as they come, with an infectious personality’. “She was a chatterbox and was always smiling, even after a night shift when everyone else was a bit grumpy. She was a good listener and couldn't do enough for people, she was a lovely friend and a great bobby.”

Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Sir Peter Fahy, said she was ‘incredibly mature’ despite her young years and died from ‘her own devotion to others’.

He said her family had spoken of the proud moment when every new officer brings home their uniform for the first time.

“They (officers) wonder will you be able to fill those boots,” he said. “In Nicola’s case, there was never any doubt. She decided not to be a bystander.

“Nicola and Fiona (Bone) knew that the police service has the same expectations of female officers as male officers.”

He said PC Hughes signed knowing she would put herself in danger and that an unarmed police force was not a ‘tactical option’

44 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:05 Page 45

but that it was ‘central to our commitment to minimum force’.

“Nicola, in her dedication and professionalism, in the way she carried out her duties, showed that policing is not about muscle but reason, restraint and intelligence,” he said.

“Her family were so proud of Nicola. She was a fighter. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. We will never forget her great sacrifice.”

Prime Minister David Cameron described the attack on Nicola and her colleague Fiona as “a shocking reminder of the debt we owe to those who put themselves in danger to keep us safe and secure”.

Chief Constable Fahy described the officers as “two very brave and courageous colleagues who exemplified the very best of British policing”.

Nicola is survived by her mother Susan, father Bryn and younger brother Sam.

Fiona Bone Police Constable Greater Manchester Police Died 18 September 2012, aged 32

PC Fiona Bone and her colleague, PC Nicola Hughes were killed in a gun and grenade attack as they investigated a hoax burglary in Mottram, Tameside, Greater Manchester

PC Bone joined Greater Manchester Police as a volunteer special constable in November 2005 and became a full-time officer in 2007 posted to Tameside division. She lived in Sale with her partner Clare and her five-year-old daughter Jessie.

Fiona was born in Norwich but later moved with her family to Moray in Scotland. She went to Hopeman Primary School and then attended Lossiemouth High School in Morayshire. Her family returned to England before moving from Castle Donington, Leicestershire, to the Isle of Man. Fiona went to the University of Central Lancashire in Preston and graduated in 2002.

Her family said: “Fiona enjoyed life to the full from her days with the Air training corps, Rugby at University, to her service with the Police. Our family has lost a wonderful daughter, sister, partner and parent to Jessie.”

Fiona’s friends paid tribute to her caring heart.

“She was a fantastic character and to know her was to like her,” they said.

“Fiona was a lively person, with a trademark smile.”

Fiona was “very lovable, friendly person” who “never had a bad word to say about anyone”.

They added: “She loved her job 100%, it was a real thrill for her. Her job was interesting and challenging. She was looking forward to getting married and settling down. She was happier than I had seen her for ages.”

Colleagues of PC Bone said: “She was an excellent bobby and cared about her job and the community she served.”

Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Sir Peter Fahy, said she was a calm, gentle woman.

46 memorial brochure 13_memorial brochure 05 13/09/2013 12:05 Page 47

“When she first joined the shift, she was quite quiet and reserved. However she came out of her shell and had a great sense of humour and always enjoyed a good laugh. She was so happy with her partner and they were in the middle of planning their wedding. Her fellow officers said they loved being partnered up with her because she was always calm, collected and professional, and could diffuse situations with her calm, gentle way.”

Sergeant Stephen Miskell said: “Fiona was wonderful. She was wonderful at keeping colleagues’ spirits high with her bubbly nature. She was wonderful about caring for others. Fiona represented the best that humanity has to offer the world but that makes her loss even greater.”

Chief Constable Fahy also said: “It is clear that helping people and building community spirit was at the heart of what she did. In the force she quickly gained recognition as an officer who set the highest standards for herself and others. Like most police officers Fiona absolutely loved her job and felt privileged to serve the public.”

He said she had received a Chief Superintendent’s commendation in 2009 for her outstanding contribution in an investigation into a series of burglaries and robberies which secured convictions.

“Fiona treated everyone with dignity, compassion and respect whatever their background,” he said.

She ‘undoubtedly had great promise for the future’. He added that PC Bone was ‘small in stature but big in personality’.

Like PC Hughes, Chief Constable Fahy said her great sacrifice would not be forgotten.

Fiona is survived by her partner Clare and her daughter Jessie, mother June, father Paul and sister Vicky.
