Superintendent Tracy Harrison, who is in charge of operational policing in the south of the county, is asking for public nominations to recognise work done by community officers, volunteers and police staff across Derbyshire.

The nominations, for awards to be held later this year, are in three categories:

Has an officer made a difference to the quality of life in your area?

Has an officer exceeded your expectations?

Has an officer gone the extra mile, perhaps in their own time?

The award is open to any police officer serving within Derbyshire Constabulary. It is not restricted to officers who have a specific community liaison role. The diversity of the work carried out by the police force means that service to the community can encompass a wide range of activities.

Police Community Support Officer of the Year (sponsored by Unison - Derbyshire Police Branch):
