Attleborough police officer wins National Armed Forces and Emergency Services Award at national final




A police officer, who has worked for Norfolk Constabulary for 17 years, has been recognised with a national award.

Sergeant Olly Button, who works in Attleborough, won the Most Outstanding Police category at the National Armed Forces and Emergency Services Event in Sunderland.

He was nominated for his work running Norfolk Constabulary Ceremonial Association (NCCA), which provides a ceremonial representation on behalf of the police at remembrance services, funerals and other official events across the county.

Mr Button said: “I feel immensely proud. I come from a long family history of public and uniformed service, so to be recognised nationally at an event across all of the services is an incredible honour for me.

“The NCCA is a real team effort, carried out by 45 dedicated volunteers from across the force, giving up their valuable time in between operational shifts to represent their force and honour fallen colleagues.

“I would like to thank my family, colleagues and senior officers at Norfolk Constabulary for their great support in letting me do what I do.”
