The prestigious medal, awarded by His Majesty The King as part of the New Year Honours, celebrates individuals with an exceptional record in policing. PC Dorman, who retired in May 2024 after a decades-long career with Kent Police, was instrumental in navigating some of the county’s most challenging moments, including Brexit-related disruptions and the impact of COVID-19 on border controls.
Key Contributions
PC Dorman played a pivotal role in preparing Kent for the introduction of new border controls following the UK’s departure from the European Union. His expertise also proved vital during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in December 2020, when the sudden closure of the French border caused significant freight delays. Dorman worked tirelessly to minimize traffic congestion, ensure public safety, and maintain the flow of essential goods.
The King’s Police Medal is a fitting tribute to Dorman’s lifelong dedication to public service and safety. As he steps into retirement, his legacy will continue to inspire roads policing efforts across the country.
