Police officers named in King's Birthday Honours
Three West Midlands Police officers have been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours list. Sgt Tim Rogers, retired Det Ch Supt Sam Ridding and retired Det Supt Nigel Walsh were each awarded the King's Police Medal. Ms Ridding was a response officer in Sutton Coldfield, before working her way up to lead the force's professional standards department. Mr Walsh worked in counter terrorism, while Sgt Rogers supports and trains police drivers. "Throughout their careers they have worked tirelessly to make a difference in policing and help others," said West Midlands Police Chief Constable Craig Guildford. "This has ranged from assisting members of the public in their time of need, catching criminals and supporting colleagues." He thanked the officers for their contributions, and said the honours were well-deserved. Ms Ridding's career saw her take on roles investigating kidnapping, murders and corruption. The force said she was widely known among colleagues for her tenacity and relentless work to secure justice for victims and bereaved families. Mr Walsh worked in counter terrorism policing before his retirement earlier this year. Bosses at the force said he had strengthened relationships between policing and security services nationally, and developed ways to protect communities against terrorism. He has since returned to a staff role after retiring as an officer. Sgt Rogers has been secretary of the West Midlands Police Federation, and led a national campaign for law changes to help protect officers in pursuit of suspects or assisting victims.

Anger as police officer in Sutton Coldfield parks on double yellows to get German Doner Kebab meal
A concerned member of the public recorded the moment a police officer in Sutton Coldfield parked on double yellow lines near a junction while getting a takeaway meal. The police officer is seen parking his patrol car right at the end of Holland Street, at its junction with the Parade where it meets Birmingham Road, in the centre of the town, on Tuesday (June 10) night. He left his vehicle while he went inside German Doner Kebab (GDK). The member of the public, who asked not to be named, said he and fellow customers at the Bottle of Sack pub opposite watched on as the officer parked illegally.

And the pubgoer recorded the moment the officer returned with his GDK bag in hand, returning to the driver's seat, reversing a little before driving off. The concerned witness said: 'Whilst sat having a drink in the Bottle of Sack on Tuesday evening I videoed a police car parking for on double yellow lines for six minutes, whilst the driver went into GDK for a kebab. 'This was also seen by everyone else in the pub." He continued: 'West Midlands Police are asking for the public to upload videos like this on their Operation Snap pages showing driving offences so they can prosecute the driver. 'They even publish the results monthly. This is not setting a good example and a flagrant disregard for the law and other road users. 'It's also annoying that they don't have time to attend burglary or car theft incidents but can park up illegally for six minutes for a kebab.' The force's Operation Snap urges those with footage of anyone committing driving offences on the region's roads to submit it and says every piece of footage will be reviewed by specially-trained staff. The Highway Code says motorists should 'not park within 10 metres of a junction, except in an authorised parking space'.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: 'We are grateful to have been shared the footage, which will be reviewed and dealt with by supervision.'
