charitable endeavours, members can also help raise money by simply<br />
attending formal Company luncheons and dinners, sporting events and<br />
other informal gatherings where they will meet and socialise with likeminded<br />
people and enjoy the unique fellowship that only the City Livery<br />
companies can offer. However, none of these incredible events would<br />
be possible without the support of our sponsors. This year National<br />
Monitoring sponsored the WCoSP dinner.<br />
Livery Movement<br />
As a member of a City Livery Company, people are afforded the<br />
opportunity to become a Freemen of the City of London and a Liverymen<br />
of the Company. The role of a Liverymen is very important within the<br />
City. Each year two Sheriffs are elected for the City of London by the<br />
Liverymen of the City Livery Companies. Historically the Sheriffs were<br />
the most important City officials and were directly appointed by the<br />
King of England until circa 1130. Primarily, they collected London’s<br />
annual taxes on behalf of the royal exchequer and had judicial duties<br />
in the City’s law courts. They have attended the Justices at the Central<br />
Criminal Court, Old Bailey since<br />
its original role as the Court for<br />
the City and Middlesex. To this<br />
day, the Sheriffs still live in the<br />
court house complex during their<br />
year of service, so that one of<br />
them can always be attendant<br />
on the judges; and at the famous<br />
number one Court at the Old<br />
Bailey the principal chairs on<br />
the bench are reserved for the<br />
Sheriffs and the Lord Mayor’s<br />
use, with the Sword of the City<br />
hanging behind the bench. It<br />
is an unchanging custom that<br />
the Lord Mayor of London<br />
must previously have served<br />
as a Sheriff. The Sheriffs’ jurisdiction is the square mile of the City of<br />
London. It is with this history in mind and the association between the<br />
Sheriffs and the wider world of security that Past Master Emeritus Steve<br />
Neville and Past Master Peter French created the ‘Sheriff’s Award’.<br />
Sheriff’s Award<br />
Initially the award was to celebrate the ordinary people of London, the<br />
public going about their business. It was for people finding themselves<br />
in a threatening and potentially dangerous situation where bravery<br />
prevailed. Since the creation of the Sheriff’s Award the criteria has<br />
extended to include nominations from the emergency services, the armed<br />
forces and of course members of the public and the business community.<br />
