A pensioner who fought off a robber, two women who intervened in a ferocious fatal attack, and a group of quick-thinking men who rescued a family following a gas explosion, were among those who met Chief Constable Jeremy Vaughan last week to be presented with a Police Public Bravery Award.
The national awards recognise individuals for outstanding acts of courage or civic duty in support of the police. Many of those awarded locally accepted an invitation to meet CC Vaughan at our headquarters in Bridgend. There they were thanked personally for their actions, and the impact they have had on their communities.
Presented with awards were:
“Presenting the Police Public Bravery Awards has given me an opportunity to hear tales of true heroism. There has been some tragedy, there has been some happy endings. But the one thing that has prevailed is the humanity, the sense of community spirit.”
– Chief Constable Jeremy Vaughan.
