Federation remembers Force PC

25 May 2025

West Midlands PC Ryan Hunt died on this day in 2006.

Ryan, 31, was killed on 25 May 2006 when he was in collision with a lorry while he was on a foot patrol working on an investigation in Doncaster during a secondment to South Yorkshire Police.

After five years’ service with the Royal Navy, he had joined the Force in 2001 and played a large part in the jailing of a number of men caught during Operation Accordance in which he had adopted a false identity to help trap suspected drug dealers.

Ryan was described as a “popular and respected” officer.
