NPCC congratulates honours recipients in policing

Police officers, staff and volunteers are among those who have been recognised

The awards have come in His Majesty The King's Birthday Honours List.

Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, said: 

“Every day, members of the policing family up and down the country demonstrate courage, dedication and commitment to serving our communities and keeping people safe.

"I am delighted to see the contribution of so many police officers, police staff and volunteers recognised in His Majesty the King’s Birthday Honours once again. 

"Each recipient of these honours should feel immensely proud of the impact they have had on policing and I want to express my sincerest congratulations to everyone that has been recognised for their contribution and service."
