Thames Valley Police announces 2021 Community Policing Award winners

Thames Valley Police is proud to announce the winners of the Community Policing Awards 2021 after the Award Ceremony took place yesterday (09/11) at The Great Barn, Oxfordshire.

These awards recognise the exceptional efforts of Thames Valley Police’s neighbourhood policing teams, including police community support officers, special constables and volunteers, for the positive impact they have on the local communities they serve.

Earlier this year, nominations opened for the 20^th year for members of the public, members of the force and partner agencies to submit nominations for those who they felt had enhanced the service that Thames Valley Police offers.

The nominations were sifted and then reviewed by a final judging panel chaired by T/Assistant Chief Constable Christian Bunt.

T/ACC Bunt said “The Community Policing Awards give residents, community organisations, businesses and colleagues the opportunity to recognise members of our force who they think have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make a difference to local people and communities.

“The response we received for 2021 was excellent and it was inspiring to see the difference the winners and other nominees are making to the everyday lives of residents in the Thames Valley.

“Selecting the winners was a challenging but rewarding experience for the panel and I would like to congratulate all of this year’s winners for their hard work and dedication.”
