Officers rewarded for their dedication

Police officers, staff and volunteers gathered in Exeter to receive recognition and pay tribute to those who have gone above and beyond in the line of duty.

The awards ceremony at Northcott Theatre in the city was a chance for senior managers to thank the teams who keep our communities safe.

Those being honoured included colleagues showing bravery, initiative and dedication in serving the public and keeping communities safe.  

The awards, earlier this month, were presented by Superintendent Antony Hart, Local Policing Area Commander for Exeter, East & Mid Devon.  

VIP guests on the night included The Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Kevin Mitchell, The Mayor of Exmouth, Councillor Olly Davey and The Mayor of Cullompton, Councillor Mike Thompson.

Superintendent Antony Hart commented: “These awards represent the very best in policing. I am continually impressed by the can-do attitude of officers, staff and volunteers, their dedication to doing the right thing and their drive to deliver the highest possible standards of service to the public. I am extremely proud of all those who were nominated by peers for their awards this evening.”
