Beat bobby of the year update

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I'd been on the selection panel for the Leicester Mercury Community Police Officer of the Year ... and the winner has now been announced.

PC Harvey Watson was the unanimous choice of the panel and was nominated by more than 50 people, but I'm not sure our article (or that on the police website) give enough credit to the two other shortlisted officers, PCs Andy Raybould and Ian Hamilton - it was a very close call and I'm not sure that anyone could have argued if the results had been reversed!
