Today’s offering from our research for the new book ‘Reporting For Duty’ with accounts completed or promised from nearly fifty retired officers who were members of the West Midlands Police between 1974 and 1999 – ‘Between Wednesday 14th March 1984 and March 1985 the West Midlands Police provided officers on mutual aid to Cleveland, Derbyshire, Durham, Humberside, Leicestershire, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and West Yorkshire Forces. More than 73,000 days were committed to the dispute during which ninety-two WMP officers were injured.’ Recollections would be welcomed. (photo courtesy of Paul Rainey)
