Five police officers were acknowledged in Queenstown yesterday - two receiving District Commander Commendations, the awards timed to coincide with Police Remembrance Day.
Constables Matthew Hargreaves and Alexandra Cully were recognised for their life-saving efforts on May 15.
Otago Lakes-Central area commander Inspector Olaf Jensen and Superintendent Paul Basham also presented Service Awards to Detective Grant Miller, of Queenstown, and Detective Alan Lee, of Wanaka, for 28 and 21 years' service respectively.
Detective Sergeant Brian Cameron was also acknowledged on his last day in Queenstown after 12 years.
The awards followed a service to remember the 94 police and traffic officers killed while on duty, or who died as a result of police duties, and eight serving or former staff who died in the past year.
