Police staff and volunteers praised at awards ceremony
Police officers, PCSOs and volunteers from Street and Glastonbury were recognised for their hard work and achievements at an awards ceremony last week.
The event was held to celebrate the work of the Special Constabulary and police volunteers and pay tribute to the hundreds of hours of their time they give to supporting the work of the police.
The ceremony also recognised the efforts of regular officers, who were nominated for awards by both specials and regular officers.
The event was attended by Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens and senior officers from the district.

"We can't recognise and reward everyone unfortunately but I am delighted that we have been able to highlight just some of the teams and individuals from the district to thank them for the fantastic work they do."
