Among them was the Excellence in Community Safety Award, which went to Watch Manager Mark Cowling.
He raised more than £20,000 as part of ‘Eddie’s Wish’ in memory of his late father to provide community defibrillators to volunteer emergency services personnel, in conjunction with the GoodSAM responding scheme supported by the NHS.
