More than 20 police officers and staff have been celebrated in a long-service awards ceremony.
Chief Constable Chris Noble and His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant Ian Dudson presented awards to 17 officers to commemorate their 20 years of service, with a further five members of staff also receiving their award.
A special award was also presented to a volunteer who completed half a century of service since starting back in 1972.
Glenys Robinson MBE, from Leek, has volunteered for five decades. She began her career as a Special Constable in the north of the county and reached the rank of Divisional Officer. In 2000, she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to the local community and continued to work alongside local policing teams through the Leek Crime Prevention Panel – despite retiring as a special.
In 2017, she became an adult leader with the Staffordshire Police Cadet programme and has been the mainstay of the unit ever since.
