Paul McKeever, Chairman of the <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> of England and <strong>Wales</strong><br />
says:<br />
“DC O’Flanagan’s brave actions epitomise the unique role of being a police<br />
officer, in respect of never being off-duty. His instincts took over and without<br />
his fearless intervention; the offenders may never have been apprehended.”<br />
DC Andy O’Flanagan, from <strong>South</strong> <strong>Wales</strong>, said: “There were many brave<br />
officers being celebrated for their actions and that officers throughout the<br />
country risked their lives every day.”<br />
He added, “he was proud to receive the award but that families of officers are<br />
the real heroes.”<br />
Stephen Mann, <strong>Police</strong> Mutual’s Chief Executive said:<br />
“I’m honoured and proud to be able to support such an important event that<br />
recognises the outstanding bravery of <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Officer</strong>s who put themselves in<br />
danger every day, in order to save and protect the lives of others. While this<br />
may just be part of their job to them, the modesty and fearless action of these<br />
men and women are extremely humbling and I hope that being nominated<br />
goes some small way in showing our gratitude and appreciation of what they<br />
do. All of tonight’s nominees should be extremely proud of their remarkable<br />
courage and outstanding actions.”
