Eight awards will be presented including community champion, unsung hero, police officer of the year and inspirational police and community award.

Kin Devi, vice-chair of West Midlands Black Police Association, said: “This year we have achieved some great things both internally and externally. We broke the glass ceiling in promotions with success at sergeant, inspector and chief inspector rank.

“These has also been some of the significant milestones and partnership working with our community which should also be acknowledged and celebrated. Together we marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Stephen Lawrence, celebrated Vikhaski and Diwali and most recently the 70th Windrush Anniversary which has been recognised locally and nationally.”
