South Yorkshire Police awards making return
and live on Freeview channel 276
The force awards – which are intended to recognise the professionalism, bravery and hard work of officers and police staff – have had a break for a few years but are making a comeback in September.
In previous years, only those working for the force have been able submit suggestions, but this year five categories will be open to nominations from the public.

Hide AdAssistant 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.
