Alan was one of the best cops I have had the honour to serve with. He was an excellent DS and I spent three years on the Drug Squad with Alan as my supervisor. I have the greatest respect for him. It is so sad that he has been taken. RIP my friend.

Alan was collator at Beetwell St in the mid eighties with sidekick Chalky White.
As an ‘import’ from Derby, I relied on LIO more than most. Alan was always helpful.
The whole division knew and liked him and he knew and liked them.
What better bloke for such a crucial job?
Never na’ different was Alan. Such a nice fella.
Condolences to all the family.
Kev Hartley,

Alan was a true cop and much respected by all he worked with, I worked along side him at Chesterfield will always remember him for his guidance and support on my early days of promotion. Rest in peace Alan.

Very sad. I remember Alan joining as a cadet in the mid 60's and our paths crossed many times during and after service. Alan was a proper copper and a good man, RIP.

Never actually worked with Alan but just knew him most of my Service in CID. Good colleague and a very funny man. As soon as I heard that he had passed, the word 'Rinokapig' came into my head from 50 years ago. I cant remember in what context though.
