Assistant Chief Constable Lauren Poultney said: “Who better to tell us about the work our officers and staff are doing, than the people who see them in action. “The people who, hopefully, have had fantastic service, support or care at difficult moments of times in their lives. I think nominations from the public will add an extra element of pride for those officers and staff members who make it onto the shortlist.

“We want to hear about the wonderful people who work hard to bring communities together and have changed lives. It could be someone who has dedicated their life to helping others; I can’t wait to hear the suggestions.” The five categories open to public nominations are:- Victim Care Award Have you had excellent service and support from an officer who has gone the extra mile? Community Spirit AwardThis award is for a member of the public who has made a big impact in their community. Police Community Support Officer of the Year Has your local PCSO made a difference to where you live? Police Officer of the Year Nominate the officer that has had an impact on your life – no matter how big or small.

Partnership of the YearThis award is to recognise partnership working between South Yorkshire Police and partner organisations, including not-for-profit and voluntary organisations.

To nominate email [email protected] with the award category, name of the individual or partnership organisation and why you think they should win. The deadline for nominations is Saturday, August 31.
