News / Selfless dedication

Shetland News @shetnews

SHETLAND’s local ambulance manager Peter Smith was in Edinburgh on Tuesday to receive the Queen’s Police Medal from Her Majesty during a ceremony at Holyrood Palace.

Smith was recognised for 35 years of service and dedication as a special constable in the Queen’s New Year’s Honour list.

The police service recognised Smith for his “selfless dedication”, often changing out of his paramedic uniform into a police uniform to carry on working as a volunteer.
