A long-serving officer and founder member of the WMP Black and Asian Police Association was awarded a King's Police Medal (KPM).
Andrea Reynolds was recognised for her role in policing and wider community in the New Year Honours List. She joined the West Midlands Police force as a PC in the 1990s before retiring earlier this year with a host of achievements behind her.
Alongside BAPA (The Black and Asian Police Association), she also became an executive member of the National Black Police Association and was also awarded a lifetime achievement award from them last year.

It’s one of a number of awards that Andrea has received including a Chief Constable's Award during her time with us. As part of her many actions Andrea - who was part of neighbourhood policing in Birmingham - helped develop a training programme to build stronger relationships between policing and diverse communities.
“Congratulations to Andrea on her KPM,” West Midlands Police said, continuing: “We're very proud!”
