Modern Two Tier Policing (#TwoTierPolicing) by West Midlands Police allows selective and indiscriminate use of the Law by its Police Officers, Staff and PCSO’s
The disgraced Chief Constable of West Midlands Police Craig Guildford retired on the 16th January 2026 with a full pension after eventually giving in to mounting calls to quit over the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban.
The Chief Constable, Craig Guildford, has today retired from West Midlands Police with immediate effect. In doing so, he has acted with honour and in the best interests of West Midlands Police and our region. I welcome his decision.
I am pleased this outcome has been reached having regard to due process and the law. That has prevented what might otherwise have been a complex procedure, that would have caused significant distraction, impact and cost to West Midlands Police and the wider West Midlands. It was important this matter was resolved in a balanced, calm, fair, measured and respectful manner.
