The Chief Constable will be holding his annual awards ceremony on Wednesday, April 27, at 1.15pm in the Gaiety Theatre, Douglas.
The ceremony honours police officers, special constables, support staff, community volunteers and members of the public with a variety of awards ranging from long service medals, certificates of merit for dedication and professionalism, commendations for saving lives and trophies for community partnerships, special achievements and outstanding performance.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts said: ‘We live in a complex world where public service is increasingly important.
‘It is only right therefore that public service is properly recognised and celebrated.
‘The constabulary consists of people who work in paid or voluntary capacities simply to keep people safe. Yet again in the last year their efforts to achieve this have been first rate. I am pleased to be able to thank them for what they have done.
‘This year’s event is special in that I will be recognising the achievements of 16 ordinary members of the public who did extraordinary things that in some cases saved lives of others.’
