Long Service Award honours for West Mercia Police officers and staff

30 West Mercia Police officers received long service and good conduct medals and ten members of staff received certificates of long service at a ceremony at Hindlip Hall last week.

The awards, held between 5 and 6 July, were presented by His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire Edward Harley OBE, Vice Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire Jenny Wynn and recipients were personally congratulated by Acting Chief Constable Alex Murray.

For an officer to be eligible for this award, the Chief Constable must make a recommendation to the Home Secretary and, in doing so, is required to certify that the officer has served as a member of a police force for the qualifying period of 20 years and during that period the officers’ character and conduct has been honourable
