A courageous Nottinghamshire police officer, PC Chris Duffy, has been nominated for the National Police Bravery Awards 2024 after displaying remarkable courage in the face of a harrowing assault that left him with severe injuries.
The incident occurred in the early hours of 11 March 2023, when PC Duffy and Police Dog Reno responded to reports of a disturbance at the Sunnydale Inn in Mansfield. Upon arrival, they encountered a suspect who fled the scene, leading to a pursuit where PC Duffy deployed PD Reno to detain the individual in an alleyway.
