By James Simons-
Police officers and staff all over the Uk are included in the New year’s honour. Among the nearly 2,000 recipients honoured by King Charles III for going “above and beyond for their communities” are 37 police and law enforcement personnel of various ranks, recognised for their invaluable contribution to policing.
Whilst many police officers every year contribute to tarnishing the reputation of the police force in the Uk, there are always any more officers engaging in commendable activities for their community, and which is deserving of much recognition.

Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Gavin Stephens,(pictured) said: “A huge congratulations and well done to all of those recognised for their service to policing in His Majesty the King’s New Year Honours List.
“Policing is a job like no other, and one which requires a tremendous amount of commitment, dedication and courage.
“Honours like this are an important reminder that police personnel’s individual and collective efforts to keep our communities safe are truly appreciated, and I am so pleased to see so many of the policing family recognised again this year. Each recipient is thoroughly deserving of the honour, and they should feel immensely proud.”
