It is with great sadness that I report the sudden and unexpected death of Retired Police Superintendent Michael BROOKES (Mick) aged 69yrs. Mick was walking in Derbyshire yesterday 27/2/2025 with a friend and former colleague, I understand they may have been in the area of Carsington Water when Mick collapsed. It appears he may have suffered a heart attack from which he was unable to recover. He was subsequently taken to a hospital in Chesterfield but sadly nothing could be done for him.

Mick joined the Nottinghamshire Police in February 1981 but had previously served in the Hong Kong Police as a direct entrant at the Rank of Inspector. He retired in Notts in August 2008 in the Rank of Superintendent. He spent a considerable period of his service at Canning Circus.

He leaves his wife Pauline, son Christopher and daughter Rachael.

As you will appreciate this is a very recent notification so I am unable to give further information at this time. I will update members when I am able.

Our thoughts and condolences are extended to the family at this very sad time.

Retired Detective Constable 463 Gordon (Geordie) HARRIS sadly passed away at his Costock home on the 13th February 2025 after a long illness. At family request, at the time, this was not reported on. NARPO respected the families wishes made at that time.

Family have been surprised at the number of contacts made by Geordie’s friends and former colleagues so have decided to notify members of his funeral arrangements should friends or colleagues wish to attend and pay their respects.

A burial service will take place at St Giles Church, Main Street, Costock, Nottingham at 11am Friday 21st March 2025. (Please be aware that parking around the church is quite restricted so whilst you will be able to park in the Village you may have to walk a short distance.)

Following burial there will be a Celebration of his Life at the Ruddington Arms Public House, Wilford Road, Ruddington NG11 6EQ to which friends and colleagues are also invited.

Family wish is for no flowers but you may make a donation to Cancer Research at the church service via the undertakers.
