PC GUNN

Richard joined Surrey Police in March 1998 but, just under six years later, in March 2004, he was killed on duty, while responding to an emergency call. He was 29 years old and due to be married exactly seven weeks later.

Richard was born in Boston, USA, while his parents were working there.  The family returned to the UK when Richard reached school age and he attended The Boswells School in Chelmsford before going on to study Astrophysics at University College London.  However, in his heart he had always longed to join the police and he achieved that aim in 1998.  He absolutely loved his job.  He was a true professional, very approachable and had a keen sense of humour.  By all accounts, he was a “good copper” who was extremely popular amongst his police colleagues.  His loss is still keenly felt by family, friends and colleagues. 

The PC Gunn Funn Runn was established in Richard's memory in 2022 and has now become an annual event to support police charities where the funds raised will make a real difference.

THIS YEAR'S CHOSEN CHARITY

Flint House Police Rehabilitation Centre

www.flinthouse.co.uk

Flint House Police Rehabilitation was founded in 1890 but has evolved over the years and is now at the forefront of modern physical rehabilitation and mental health support, offering both serving and retired officers flexible, needs-based programmes.

Since 1988 Flint House has expanded to accommodate more officers in need and has massively improved its facilities with modern accommodation, a hydrotherapy centre, a new gym, an all-weather outdoor pitch and mental health support.

It is through generous donations that Flint House helps and heals over 3,500 serving and retired police officers each year.
