Today I spoke in a Westminster Hall Debate adding my support to a growing campaign creating a medal to be awarded to emergency service personnel who have died during service. I raised the case of PC Ged Walker in Parliament, who was murdered in Nottinghamshire in the line of duty.
PC Walker passed away on January 9th 2003, twenty years ago this week, after being dragged down a road whilst trying to remove the key from a stolen vehicle. He is survived by his late wife, Broxtowe resident, Tracy Walker and their two children.
PC Walker is a shining example of why an award such as this should exist. He, and all police officers put their lives on the line everyday they go to work, for the sake of their communities.
