A Dorset Police officer who was badly injured as she tackled an aggressive hammer-wielding thug who was threatening members of the public has been nominated for The National Police Bravery Awards. PC Roz Fricker, who was a probationary officer at the time of the incident, will now join more than 90 colleagues from across England and 123 for five months as she recovered. The offender attended Crown 123 should be very proud of her, as we all are. “As a Police Federation, we wanted to make sure these brave officers received the recognition they deserve in the year their actions were meant to be celebrated. And we look forward to seeing them all in person – and revealing regional and national winners – when the time is right in 2021.” The National Police Bravery Awards are sponsored by Police Mutual. John Perks, Chief Executive Officer of Police Mutual, said: “Police Mutual is, as always, proud to be supporting the National Police Bravery Awards in its 25th anniversary year. Despite having to postpone the original ceremony, the officers’ courage has never been forgotten – they all showed commitment to keeping the public safe in the most demanding of circumstances. “We very much look forward to meeting all the nominated officers in July 2021 for the ceremony, and our chance to give our thanks in person.”
