Death of Ged Walker

PC Gerald Michael "Ged" Walker (15 January 1960 – 9 January 2003)[3] was an English police dog handler with Nottinghamshire Police who was killed in the line of duty in Bulwell, Nottingham, in 2003.

On 7 January 2003, PC Walker was dragged 100 yards (roughly 90 m) and fatally injured by a stolen taxi as he reached into the vehicle in an attempt to remove the keys from the ignition.

In December 2003, 26-year-old drug addict David Parfitt was convicted of Walker's manslaughter and sentenced to 13 years in prison.

In September 2005, a memorial stone for PC Walker was unveiled at the junction of St. Albans Road and Cantrell Road in Bulwell, close to the location of the fatal incident.

[5] A dog show has been held annually in Long Eaton in memory of Walker since his death in 2003.
