Ash said: “It didn’t look right so I walked outside and he was stood down the side of the house with a shotgun. At this point I didn’t have my baton or cuffs, just a radio. I raced up to him, grabbed him with one hand, and grabbed the weapon with the other hand.

阿什說：「看起來不太對勁，所以我走到外面，他拿著一把獵槍站在房子的一側。此時我沒有警棍或手銬，只有一台收音機。我跑到他身邊，一手抓住了他，另一手抓住了武器。

Tim believed their stellar response was down to their training.

提姆相信他們的出色反應歸功於他們的訓練。

He said: “It all escalated very quickly. I’ve done this job for 15 years and you go into autopilot. Your experience and training kick in. You’re thinking of your own safety, the public’s safety, and that we’ve got people and weapons we need to secure.”

他說：「事情升級得非常快。我從事這項工作已經 15 年了，而你卻進入了自動駕駛狀態。你的經驗和訓練開始發揮作用。

Tim said: “I didn't come into the job to get awards, and while I don’t really want the attention, it's nice to be recognised for the work that we've done.”

蒂姆說：“我從事這份工作並不是為了獲得獎項，雖然我真的不想受到關注，但很高興我們所做的工作得到認可。”

Ash added: “I haven’t done anything I think was out of the ordinary that merited being brave, but the award is a really nice thing to retire on. It all came from a bit of intelligence that we thought would need a quick chat and ended with quite a good result.”

阿什補充說：「我沒有做過任何我認為不尋常的事情，值得勇敢，但獲得這個獎項對於退休來說確實是一件好事。這一切都來自於我們認為需要快速交談的一些情報，並以相當好的結果結束。

The West Midlands Police Federation Bravery Awards, which are sponsored by Slater and Gordon lawyers are being held on January 30.

由斯萊特和戈登律師贊助的西米德蘭茲警察聯合會勇敢獎將於 1 月 30 日舉行。
