PC Adele Owen from Greater Manchester Police has been awarded the Queen’s Police Medal in this year’s New Year’s Honours list.
A serving officer for almost 20 years, Adele is the current Tactical Mental Health Lead for the Force, transforming the way police officers in Greater Manchester respond to people suffering from mental ill health and also trailblazing the Force’s response to colleagues who need support themselves.
Adele said: “I’m absolutely delighted to receive this honour. It’s a huge surprise and I’m very grateful to those who nominated me. I feel very proud to represent GMP in my current role and have been privileged to work with many dedicated colleagues during my 20 years with the Force
