Gwynedd officers commended for dedication to serving their communities

Three police officers and a PCSO have been commended for their recent services to the communities of North Gwynedd.

Sergeant Ben Pugh, PC Stephanie Owen and PC Noah Cameron received Superintendent’s commendations for their life-saving actions during an incident involving a vulnerable person in February earlier this year.

Superintendent Llinos Davies said: “The officers’ courageous actions and communication during this incident resulted in a man’s life being saved.

“They are a credit to the force and deserve to be commended for their actions.”

PCSO Julie Broadhead also received a Superintendent’s commendation for her problem-solving work to reduce graffiti and criminal damage in Bangor.

PCSO Broadhead worked with partner agencies and community members in the local area who told us that this was an issue that mattered to them.

 She co-ordinated community art projects that engaged with younger members of the community, resulting in a reduction of graffiti and anti-social behaviour.

Superintendent Llinos Davies said: “PCSO Broadhead’s dedication and efforts have impacted positively on community confidence as well as resulting in a reduction of anti-social behaviour and graffiti in the Bangor area.

“The project has been an excellent example of how powerful community resolution can be to deter further issues. We look forward to continuing to work with partners on the issues that matter to residents.”
