Vote for your favourite community police officer in the Derbyshire Community Policing Awards 2019

Chief Constable Peter Goodman said: “There is some excellent work going on across Derbyshire with officers and staff addressing the concerns of residents, and every single day people take the time to thank me for the professionalism, concern and compassion of my officers and staff. It is very rewarding to know that members of the Derbyshire Constabulary are thought of very highly and our work is greatly appreciated by the people we serve. These awards will reward those staff for their hard work and dedication.”

There are three categories again this year and after the success of last year’s ceremony in September, being chosen as a winner is a huge honour.

Award Categories

Community Police Officer of the Year

Has an officer helped you resolve a difficult situation?

Has an officer made a difference to the quality of life in your area?

Has an officer exceeded your expectations?

Has an officer gone the extra mile, perhaps in their own time?

The award is open to any police officer serving within Derbyshire Constabulary. It

is not restricted to officers who have a specific community liaison role. The

diversity of the work carried out by the police force means that service to the

community can encompass a wide range of activities
