A selected group of officers attended Government House to be presented with their Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor last Tuesday, 19th June
 
The medals were presented to all officers who had served for five years or more at the time of the Jubilee. For many, this is their second Jubilee medal, having also received one in recognition of their service on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee in 2002.
 
Deputy Chief Constable Gary Roberts, who was there to introduce the officers to His Excellency said; “ This is one of those occasions during an officer’s service where they can reflect on the contribution they have made to “The Queen’s Peace”. Every constable swears an oath of Service to the Crown when they first join the Constabulary.
 
The exigencies of duty means that we can’t invite every officer to receive their medal in the formal setting of Government House, directly from Her Majesty’s representative. But to be able to mark the occasion with such a ceremony is an important thing to do to recognise sixty years of inspirational public service by The Queen”

Constable Darren Burns
 
Special Constable Dave Cheval
 
Detective Constable Tony Corlett
 
Constable Gianni Fabrizio
 
Inspector Derek Flint
 
Special Constable Glyn Harper
 
Detective Constable Ian Harrison
