BiographyRees was born in the village of Llangadog in 1912. He was raised as a Welsh speaker, not learning English until the age of seven.[2] He was educated at Llandovery College before matriculating to St Catharine's College, Cambridge.[2] He joined the Metropolitan Police after leaving Cambridge in 1935, joining the Royal Air Force after the outbreak of the Second World War. Serving as a pilot, he rose to the rank of squadron leader, ending as acting wing commander.[2] In 1943 he married Dorothy Webb, with whom he would have a daughter.[2] With the end of the war, he returned to the Metropolitan force, rising through the ranks until becoming the Chief Constable of Denbighshire in 1957.[2] He remained with the Welsh force until 1964, when he became the Chief Constable of Staffordshire. AwardsRees received several awards for his many years as a high ranking police officer and his work on sporting bodies. In 1960 he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire, which was followed by Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1974 Birthday Honours.[3] He was awarded the Queen's Police Medal in 1970[4] and was made a Deputy Lieutenant to Staffordshire in 1967. In May 1977 he was granted the Freedom of the City of London and in November of the same year was made a Knight of the Order of St John.[5] Bibliography
