VIP Visit

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins recently played host to the family of a former Greater Manchester Police officer who was killed while serving as a police officer in Canada.

 

PC Daniel Woodall left the Force and emigrated with his family nine years ago to join the Canadian Police Service.

 

Daniel died after being shot while making an arrest in Edmonton last year.

 

Before leaving GMP he had been based at Wythenshawe.

 

During a Christmas visit to Manchester the family were given a VIP tour of the Force, which included a trip to see the dog, and mounted units, a visit to NPAS helicopter at Barton and lunch with the Chief Constable at the Force’s headquarters.

 

Pictured with Mr. Hopkins are Callen Woodall, Gabe Woodall and Daniel’s widow Claire.

 

The Force has also planted a tree in memory of Daniel in the Force’s Memorial Garden in Prestwich.
