Queen’s Birthday Honours List recognises police officers, staff and volunteers

Police officers, staff and volunteers from forces across the country have been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.

Police colleagues of all ranks and several roles have been awarded honours.

Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, Martin Hewitt, said:

“I congratulate all of those recognised for their service to policing in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List. It is great to see so many officers, staff and volunteers from across the country being awarded for their dedicated service, particularly during the challenging circumstances we have all faced since the start of the pandemic.

“The awards highlight the commitment and hard work of policing to protect and keep our communities safe all year round and everyone should be rightly proud to be recognised in this way.”
