He asked it be awarded to one or more officers who contributed the most outstanding performance in the fields of Police Service (in all aspects).
In the past recipients have included people who have exhibited extreme courage, through to other officers who have been recognised for outstanding work over many years. The Trophy is rightly seen as being the Constabulary’s primary award.
