Contribution of police staff recognised in week of celebration

Staff members at Wiltshire Police are being recognised for the contribution they make to policing in the county.

As part of the National Police Staff Week of Celebration and Recognition, staff colleagues are being commended for their work supporting operational priorities and Keeping Wiltshire Safe.

Wiltshire Police's police staff make up 50% of the organisation. These include a wide range of specialist functions, such as staff investigators, those working to improve the organisation's effectiveness, and those who enable community policing, such as PCSOs and offender managers.

Chief Constable Catherine Roper said: “Since joining Wiltshire Police, I have been immensely inspired by seeing, first-hand, the willingness of police staff and officers to go above and beyond every day. 

“I’ve also seen a real desire for collaborative working and people pulling together to improve the service our communities receive. Our police staff cohort plays a vital role in Keeping Wiltshire Safe.”

Chief of Corporate Services – the police staff equivalent of the Deputy Chief Constable – John Derryman said: “This week is about recognising the pivotal contribution of police staff members – quite simply, without them, policing would not function.  

“Police staff not only support with the delivery of operational policing – they are absolutely integral to how our organisation operates. I think the public would be very surprised by the breadth
