Awards Programme FINAL.Pdf 1 2 Welcome to the Nottinghamshire Police Awards 2019 A very warm welcome to this year’s Nottinghamshire Police Awards. Tonight is our opportunity to say “thank you” to our officers, staff and volunteers who have gone above and beyond to keep the people of Nottinghamshire safe. We work alongside some really inspiring people who have devoted decades to the police service. From tales of extraordinary bravery to stories of going the extra mile for colleagues or to safeguard vulnerable victims, you will hear some fantastic stories tonight. Not only are these stories indicative of the calibre of the officers, staff and volunteers we have in Nottinghamshire, they also show the bravery and commitment of police across the county. Family and friends - you also play a huge part in our success. There are late finishes, cancelled rest days, difficult investigations and distressing incidents to attend. This ceremony is also about saying “thank you” to you, the families, as well, and we hope to see as many of you as possible afterwards to celebrate. A wonderful “thank you” to the VIPs who have been kind enough to make this evening what it is and who continue to support this organisation. Finally, this is the perfect opportunity to say thank you to our sponsors - Nottinghamshire Police Federation, SAAB Technologies and software provider HCL - for their generosity and continued support. Without them, this evening simply would not have been possible. Congratulations to tonight’s recipients and we hope you are all proud of yourselves. Have a fantastic evening and enjoy the ceremony.

Long Service and Good Conduct Medal The Police Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was introduced by King George VI in 1951. It is awarded as a mark of the Sovereign’s appreciation of long and meritorious service by members of the police force. As the Queen’s representative in Nottinghamshire, the Lord Lieutenant presents this award to officers with 20 years of exemplary service. Chief Constable’s Commendation Chief Constable’s Commendations are the highest form of recognition from the force and are selected by the Chief Officer Team for those who have either displayed exemplary work or exceptional bravery. Chief Constable’s Commendations are awarded to officers, staff, PCSOs, volunteers and members of the public for their actions. 5 Professional Award | Presented by DCC Barber Inspector Chris Pearson Chris has demonstrated positivity and willingness to help in all aspects of policing. His respectful approach to everyone he works with has increased performance and helped to improve staff welfare. Chris has taken the lead on a number of operations, including Operation Sceptre and Operation Taffy. He has also helped to introduce knife crime wands and community engagement reviews. His work with partners and the community has ensured a good professional relationship with all those he works alongside. Respect For All Award | Presented by DCC Barber Ronald Lawrence MBE Ron has consistently demonstrated a passion to engage with a range of diverse groups and used this to bring people into the organisation. He has a charismatic, enthusiastic and engaging approach, which appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds. His hard work engaging with key schools has promoted the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and has encouraged a wide range of young people to join the organisation. One Team Award | Presented by DCC Barber and sponsor SAAB Operation Lester DI Ed Cook, DS James Bond, DS Rick Jones, DC Andy Buxton, DC Dionne Love, DC Tony Tonks, DC Rob Marsden, DC Alan Prentice, DC Laura Whittington, DC Luke Todd, DC Sacha Carlisle, DC Richard Kinsey, POI Harry Buxton, DC Ryan Atkin, DC Nathan Wall, DC Charlotte Henson, DC Rory Greer, DC Steve Eley, DC Kirsty Henderson, DC Chris Adams, POI Adam Karimjee, DC Laura Price This group of CID officers and staff are being recognised for their excellent work on a difficult investigation. The case was a knife attack on a student who was on his way home from the city centre, which left him with life-threatening injuries. The investigation had limited clues to work with and witnesses who did not want to help the police. Because the victim was seriously injured, the team had to piece together hours of CCTV to trace his movements without his involvement. Officers recovered evidence including clothing and weapons from the offender, as well as items which linked him to the victim. Enquires including automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), taxi data and GPS tagging provided a picture of key movements. 6 Staff had to work to a tight schedule of interviewing suspects, recovering key items of evidence and managing challenging witnesses. Thanks to the diligent work of those involved, all of the suspects were arrested within seven days of the incident. In total, nine people were arrested, multiple warrants were executed, over 300 exhibits were examined and numerous weapons and controlled drugs were seized. Due to compelling evidence and a comprehensive file, the key suspect was charged and pleaded guilty to Section 18 wounding and was given a 14-year prison sentence. Those involved made great personal sacrifices to secure a prosecution, spending long hours at work and away from their families. They all showed exceptional commitment and dedication throughout this long investigation. Utmost Integrity, Trust and Honesty Award | Presented by DCC Barber Romel Davis Romel first worked in the Control Room when he joined the force, helping with diversity outreach work in his own time right from the start. Recently, he was offered the opportunity of working on a scheme to identify, engage and support vulnerable young people with the help of police cadets. Thanks to Romel’s passion, the Citizens in Policing Department now has cadet bases across Nottingham. He has also organised the recent Stephen Lawrence Day celebration, which was one of the biggest community engagement events Nottinghamshire Police has held in recent memory. Doing It Differently Award | Presented by DCC Barber & sponsor HCL Operation Reacher DCI Lee Davies, DS Marcus Oldroyd, PC Dan Butler, PC Richard Craig, PC Olwen Sharp, PC Graham Willis, PCSO Charlotte Bastlow, PCSO Richard Hodgman Operation Reacher was formed to disrupt organised crime on the Bestwood estate. The team has worked hard to open lines of communication with the local community, build relationships and increase trust and confidence in the police. They have used Facebook, promotional banners and innovative competitions to reach their audience. The team continues to improve community relations through their work on social media and by holding community events in Bestwood. Officers from Operation Reacher have also worked closely with online groups to tackle bike thefts, gather intelligence through community links and seize numerous motorbikes. All of these activities have helped to build stronger relationships and a great deal of trust with people of all ages in the community.

Our overall assessment of the force’s 2018/19 performance. 2. Our judgments and summaries of how effectively, efficiently and legitimately the force keeps people safe and reduces crime. 3. Our judgments and any areas for improvement and causes of concern for each component of our inspection. 4. Our detailed findings for each component. Our inspection approach In 2018/19, we adopted an integrated PEEL assessment (IPA) approach to our existing PEEL (police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy) inspections. IPA combines into a single inspection the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy areas of PEEL. These areas had previously been inspected separately each year. As well as our inspection findings, our assessment is informed by our analysis of: • force data and management statements; • risks to the public; • progress since previous inspections; • findings from our non-PEEL inspections; • how forces tackle serious and organised crime locally and regionally; and • our regular monitoring work.
