Police chief joins in remembrance cycle

Redditch Editorial 7th Aug, 2016 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

A TOP police officer who started her career patrolling the streets of Redditch took part in the UK Police Unity Tour in memory of officers who have died while in service.

Acting Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman was joined by Sergeant Laura Wright and more than 30 police officers and staff who formed the East Midlands Chapter of the Tour.

They cycled 180 miles in remembrance of colleagues across Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire who lost their lives while serving their communities.

Having already raised £10,000 the team is hoping to raise more than £12,000 for the Care of Police Survivors (COPS) charity.
