In December 2003, 26-year-old David Parfitt was convicted of PC Walker's manslaughter and sentenced to 13 years in prison.

He had been on licence at the time of the incident for a previous robbery offence.

In September 2005, a memorial stone for PC Walker was unveiled at the junction of St Alban's Road and Cantrell Road in Bulwell, close to where the incident happened.

Present at the unveiling was PC Walker's widow; Michael Winner, the founder and chairman of the Police Memorial Trust; and the Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police.
