West Midlands Police Federation Bravery Awards

Plans are taking shape for the West Midlands Police Federation Bravery Awards 2027.

The awards will be held in March next year, and nominations opened on 1 July.

They are largely split into geographical areas, with nominations sought for officers in the following policing units:

Birmingham
Coventry
Dudley
Sandwell
Solihull
Walsall
Wolverhampton.

This year for the first time there is an award category for specialist departments.

As with the previous awards, there will be an Inspiration in Policing Award presented in memory of former West Midlands Police Federation deputy chair Sam Hughes, who died in 2023.

The overall winner, chosen from the winners of all categories, is presented with the David Green Memorial Shield and also goes forward as the West Midlands Police Federation nominee for the national Police Bravery Awards held in London over the summer.

The winner of the 2026 West Midlands Police Federation Bravery Award was Mitchell Bull.
