It is with sadness that I report the death of Retired Police Constable 396 Christopher John TYRRELL who sadly passed away on the 29th May 2025 at his Richmond home following a very short illness. He was 78 yrs of age.
Chris, as he was known joined the Nottingham City Police in April 1967 and retired in May 1993. After early uniform duties at Central he transferred to the then Mechanised Department and subsequently the Nottingham Traffic Wing TD(N) where he remained for most of his service.
Chris leave his wife Glynis (former Notts Cadet 57 WILKINSON and Policewoman 21). He leaves son, Ashley and daughters Rachel and Elizabeth. He also leaves Grandchildren Emily, Tia, Maddie and Tom.
At this time there are no known funeral arrangements but these will be posted to members when they are known.
The Undertakers are John BLENKIRON Funeral Services of Richmond.
Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.

I remember those days at Traffic Wing Peachey St with Chris. I guess the funeral will be in the area of Richmond, which might see less of his work mates attending the funeral. Might be on one of those video links ?

Sorry to hear about this. We have known Chris and Glynis since 1967. Chris was a member of the Underwater Search Unit, as I was in the 70’s. Best wishes to Glynis at this time. Terry & Anne.

Our paths crossed on the Traffic Department at Nottingham and whilst we were never on the same shift, he was someone I respected as a hard working, dedicated, loyal and professional Traffic Officer.
Chris was a dedicated Federationist during a time when the organisation was respected and effective.
RIP Chris, it was a pleasure to know him. Sincere, deepest thoughts with the family.

I’ve only just heard of Chris’s sad passing.
I knew Chris when I worked TD(N) in late 1980s early 1990s.
He became a good friend and colleague especially when I decided to leave the force to become a church minister.
As our Pol Fed Rep he arranged for me to retire, for which I’m extremely grateful.
He attended my commissioning service at West Bridgford Baptist Church in 1992.
A really good copper and a lovely man.
My condolences to his family.
Chris Lewis
