Two Greater Manchester Police officers have been recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2020.
Retired PC Charles Crichlow has been awarded a Queens Policing Medal (QPM), while PC John Williams has been awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM).
Charles joined GMP in November 1990 before retiring in March 2020.
Considered an inspirational and forward thinking officer by his peers, he held the position of President of the National Black Police Association (NBPA) for four years where he made a significant contribution to national policing policy.

During his time as President, Charles played a key role in transforming the association into the strong and well respected organisation it is today - providing support to community groups and playing an integral part in national consultation issues that affect black and minority communities and staff within the police service.
He also carries out a considerable range of local community work, particularly focused on raising the aspirations of young black men.
In addition to his work outside of GMP, Charles has played a major role in GMP's ongoing work to improve representation within the force.
His work within GMP includes promoting diversity and equality of opportunity - being selfless in his determination to create a police service that reflects and respects the community it serves.
Charles' personal commitment and selfless attitude to such incredibly important societal issues is unquestionable and his enthusiasm cannot be overstated.
Charles Crichlow QPM said: "It’s great to be recognised, particularly after completing 30 years of public service.
“I’m conscious there are many out there who are equally as deserving for the work they do to keep people safe, particularly during these times. Covid-19 has sparked new and old conversations about underlying inequalities within our society and we should not shy away from these conversations.
“The murder of George Floyd has also sparked a different level of conversation that must be shaped into action.
“I would therefore like to believe this award is an acknowledgement and vindication of the foundational work of the Black Police Association and the work that needs to be done to make policing better for all communities.”
Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "I am delighted that Charles has been honoured in this way. There is no doubt that, as a black man, joining the police service in 1990 was a courageous step.
“The police service and GMP is a better place for Charles taking that courageous step. He has pioneered race equality locally and nationally as the President of the National Black Police Association.
"I know that on occasions this will have been challenging for him, but his leadership and perseverance helped pave the way for others to join the service and fulfil their vocations.

“I know that when Charles retired from GMP earlier this year he did so with great happiness and remains committed to remaining engaged with policing. The honour of being awarded the Queens Police Medal is a fitting tribute to Charles career and contribution.
“I am extremely pleased the hard work and dedication Charles has put in over the years is being recognised, and even more so given the focus that has been put on black history this year, and the current celebrations of Black History Month taking place throughout October.”
John Williams has also been recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List 2020.
After joining British Transport Police as a Special Constable in 2001 he took up a full time role as a PC two years later.

He transferred to GMP in 2007 and worked in district roles before taking up his current post in the Serious Collision Investigation Unit.
John can often be found attending community events, schools and scout groups to promote the role of police within the local community.
When he isn’t working to keep the roads of Greater Manchester safe, John spends his time outside of work volunteering and fundraising for charity.
One charity he has worked closely with over the years is Retrak. Joining up with the charity in 2012, John has helped them raise over £100,000 and acted for them as an ambassador on a number of occasions.
One such occasion saw him deliver a moving but inspirational pres entation which resulted in a group of people travelling to Malawi to equip and install a much needed IT resource room in the Chisomo Children's Centre in Lilongwe.
Due in part to John's continued dedication and commitment, the centre now provides a safe place for children to sleep and access medical facilities, food and qualified counsellors. He has also worked with street children in Ethiopia to move them away from a life of vulnerability, exclusion and poverty to a life within a positive family or community.
Not limiting himself to one charity, John's efforts have seen him raise significant amounts of money for Cash for Kids, High Sheriffs Trust and Reclaim. His resourceful thinking has resulted in a care home in each of the ten districts GMP serves obtaining a Play Station 4 and six games.
He also recently obtained £20,000 to equip the Police Treatment Centre in Harrogate with new counselling rooms, and has arranged lots of fundraising events for the North West Police Benevolent Fund, enabling them to purchase various pieces of equipment to help injured officers from Cheshire, Cumbria, GMP, Lancashire and Merseyside.
PC John Williams BEM said: "I am shocked and very honoured to be awarded the British Empire Medal. Everything I've done has been for the right reasons - to help others. That's our job.
"When I was a little boy, my grandad put a bobby's hat on my head and said 'you're going to be a policeman one day'. I worked in construction and travelled around the world and one day, after speaking to an Inspector, I decided to join the police.
"I've never looked back and still enjoy it to this day. No day is ever the same and I'm proud to make a difference. I give it everything and at the end of the day I can always say 'I did my best'.
"I work with some brilliant people and have made some good friends along the way. Everything I have done is to help other people - whether it's members of the public, colleagues or family and friends."

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "John's British Empire Medal is a richly deserved recognition of his incredible dedication to the many charitable causes that he supports.
"His efforts, not just in Greater Manchester but beyond, have changed the lives of countless children who may not have had the best start in life.
“Working long hours as a police officer can be challenging enough so to spend as much time as John does outside of work raising huge sums of money and using his annual leave to carry out charity work abroad is phenomenal

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-09--Council leader sets out plan to avoid full closure of pubs and restaurants

Manchester ’ s Council leader has called for tougher enforcement on shops and pubs that break Covid restrictions - rather than full closure .
Sir Richard Leese says most of Manchester ’ s cases are down to transmission among students and households .
As such , closing pubs and restaurants could lead to people socially mixing in “ unregulated , non-Covid secure ” environments and increasingly indoors as winter draws in .
He says enforcing rules relating to the mixing of households is “ nigh on impossible ” and therefore needs “ a single set of suitable national rules and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sir Richard says a far better course of action would be to have “ rapidly-deployable enforcement measures ” meaning shops and hospitality venues could be shut down if they don ’ t comply with Covid restrictions .
He also claims that the current 10pm curfew for licensed premises “ is causing more problems than it is solving ” .
Sir Richard ’ s comments follow as yet unconfirmed reports that the Government plans to close some pubs and restaurants .
Leaked plans which are reportedly set to close pubs and restaurants in Greater @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have plunged the hospitality industry into uncertainty .
Boris Johnson is expected to announce the closure of pubs , bars and restaurants in the north of England on Monday .
Greater Manchester 's night time economy adviser , Sacha Lord and Manchester Hospitality Network founder , Greg Maguire , said the move would be devastating for pub and restaurant operators .
Mr Lord , speaking to the M.E.N in Facebook live Q & A , said the move would be “ absolutely catastrophic ” .
He said : “ I spoke to an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what ?
I 'm going to hand the keys back to the landlord , that 's it .
“ This is absolutely devastating for our sector.
” On Friday afternoon , Sir Richard outlined his thoughts on Covid-19 restrictions and principles .
He said : “ We obviously share the concern of the Government at increased Covid-19 cases and understand the anxiety about the impact on the National Health Service - particularly hospitals .
“ We share their desire to reduce the number of cases and fully acknowledge that transmission comes primarily through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have to reduce the extent to which people meet where reasonable to do so but this has to be balanced with people being able to continue to meet in Covid-safe environments .

The best way to achieve that compliance would be by having a single set of suitable national rules and messages that applies across the whole country.

“ We have been in discussions with Government for months about boosting the local element of test , trace and contact with little progress , ” he said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ priority because it is still the key to reducing cases of the virus.
” He adds : “ A lot of emphasis has been placed on pubs , bars and restaurants .
