A trio of officers from West Mercia Police has been nominated for the National Police Bravery Awards 2024 in recognition of their courageous and swift actions in rescuing a woman from her sinking car in Worcestershire.
In April 2023, a woman found herself trapped in her Mini after it became submerged in a flooded Ford between Pershore and Drakes Broughton. Responding to a frantic 999 call reporting the incident, PS Shannon Murphy, PS Lee Baker, PC Thomas Simmonds, and three other officers from West Mercia Police sprang into action.
