Chief’s Award for Steve

13 August 2021

West Midlands Police Federation secretary Steve Grange has been presented with a Chief Constable’s Award ahead of his retirement next month.

Steve is retiring after 30 years’ service with the Force and 15 years representing members for the Federation.

Steve joined West Midlands Police in September 1991 and his first posting was to A Unit on the old K1 sub-division, working out of West Bromwich Police Station. He became a Police Federation rep in 2006.

His Chief Constable’s Award acknowledges his service and his contribution to the Force over the last three decades, and his work representing Federation members.

He said: “I was obviously delighted to receive this personal recognition from the Chief Constable but I have always been part of a great team.

“I have been lucky enough to work with some incredibly dedicated police officers over the last 30 years.”

He said he planned to continue to help Federation members with information on pensions and how upcoming changes will affect officers, working for the Federation two days a month, and hoped to qualify as a financial adviser in his retirement.
