ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë

ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë UK Members’ Day was a fantastic opportunity to meet up with friends from all over Section UK and other sections.

More than 70 people were present on the day, which started with a light buffet lunch served, while members and guests were treated to an excellent display of the archives carefully arranged by Phillip and Vivian Powell. The archives covered a wide time line of Arthur Troops’ life and achievements, showing the wide effect he had across the world of Policing and Friendship.

We were honoured to have Kevin Troop with us at the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë offices in Fox Road. He was able to speak to all members about his father, and gave a fantastic insight into the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë.

Kevin was delighted to unveil a blue plaque in honour of his father which was a fitting mark of recognition for Arthur and the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë. The picture shows the members toasting Arthur Troop.

After raising further funds for the Police Roll of Honour Trust by way of a raffle, all of those gathered listened to a recording of Arthur Troop made at Fox Road exactly 23 years ago. It was a moving and thought-provoking moment in time.
