Should anyone be curious, have found a copy of the calendar photo…..
Not the best quality granted, but you can just make out the caption underneath in which Joan Williams is named.

Birmingham Mint E11R (second version) LSGC to Superintendent Joan S Williams South Yorkshire Police.
(*The Birmingham Mint held the contract for LSGC’s between roughly around 1995 to around 2007.)
I believe Joan must have joined the police in around 1978. So it can be assumed that she must have qualified for her LSGC around 2000. Her service dates would confirm that she also entitled to the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002. I assume she must have retired around 2008.
Service wise -
As a Chief Inspector I believe she served in Woodseats, Hackenthorpe (which then became Moss Way) and Hammerton Road.Police Almanc for 2007 & 2008 has her as Superintendent and head of Communications, Operational Support Services, South Yorkshire Police.
She makes the national press as a result of a couple of incidents.
Firstly in 2007, when she and her judge husband posed nude for a calendar to raise money for a fox hunting group she was part of. How many serving Superintendents can claim do have done that I wonder? (*No photograph of her available, before anyone asks, her husband however was not so lucky and his photo was all over the press, but no one wants to see that!)

She next appears in the press in 2020 granted this must be long after she had retired from the force. On this occasion she and her husband (the judge) were involved in an altercation with hunt saboteurs. These articles document that she had previously been a Super in South Yorkshire Police. There are also a few posts about it on social media (Facebook).

Article in today’s Sunday Express, which might be of interest? The campaign is for the award of a medal to officers injured in the line of duty and as a result have to be medically retired. In the vast amount of cases thus not qualifying for their LSGC and having no metallic recognition for their service.

Have confirmed that in North Wales Police where there is detective rank qualifying for the long service medal they do add DET for english & DTF for welsh preferences.
They have been ordering in this way for a number of years.

Police LS medal original packet
Are these police LSGC’s named to the recipient?
On 09/09/2009 at 03:45, heusy68 said:Here we have : Papua & New Guinea Police Long Service & Good Conduct
This medal is numbered on the rim.
Emmanuel
Am I right in assuming that these medals are simply numbered as apposed to engraved with the recipients details?Is it possible to identify the recipient by the number engraved on the rim?
I assume that 1975 is the date when PNG police ceased issuing the British version police LSGC?
