The Met want you to nominate officers who have made outstanding contributions to crime prevention initiatives, improving the relationship between the local community and the police.

Supporting the award, Assistant Commissioner Tim Godwin said:

“Following the launch of Safer Neighbourhoods, the Met sees this competition as an ideal way to highlight and recognise the excellent work being done throughout the year by officers working within the communities of London.

"I would urge individuals and communities to nominate any officer whom they feel is deserving of this special recognition”.

Last year's winner, Bexley's PC Michael Wearing said:
“It is great to win this award and a tribute to the community I serve”.

The winner will represent the Met at the national Police Review Gala Awards later this year.
