David started his career as special constable in 1967, serving until October 1998.

After he retired from the Special Constabulary, David embarked on a new role as a Police Support Volunteer, assisting with the recruitment of new special constables in the west of the county.

David, who has served the constabulary for 52 years, said of his award win: "I feel very honoured to even be considered but to be given a British Empire Medal, I am blown away.

"I really enjoy volunteering and passing on the knowledge and experience that I have gained over the years. During my time as a special constable for example, I had the privilege to work with some very dedicated officers who welcomed me as part of their team. The experience I gained from this still helps me even to this day.”
