In memory of Bob Jones

I am shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of Bob Jones, the Police and Crime Commisioner for West Midlands, earlier today.

Bob’s passion, his commitment to policing and his desire to keep the communities of the West Midlands safe, shone through all his work.  He proudly devoted over 30 years of his life to public service, as a Councillor, as a Police Authority Chair, and most recently as a PCC.

My thoughts and sympathies are with Bob’s family, friends and colleagues.
