The families have spoken of their pride that the men's sacrifices will be honoured
Two police officers who died in the line of duty are to honoured for risking their lives to protect the public. This follows a Government announcement about the introduction of the Elizabeth Emblem in March which is awarded as a mark of recognition to the next of kin of those who lost their lives during public service.
He was killed on May 17, 1978, after coming across a break-in at a jewellers' shop in Worksop and bravely confronting a gang of offenders before chasing them. In a subsequent struggle with a suspect, the young officer suffered serious head injuries. “I don’t think a lot of people realise that officers put their lives in danger every day when they go to work. There are not many jobs where people are faced with these situations. They are the thin blue line, and we are really proud as a family."
She said: “We are very proud, and it is nice for the police to be acknowledged by the Government for what he did. I think police officers should be recognised.
