A Salisbury City Ranger's been rewarded for his contribution to the community.
Andy Milton's work as a leader for the Salisbury Cadet Unit has been recognised.
He has received a Wiltshire and Swindon Police Commissioner (PCC) Contribution to the Community Award, from the outgoing Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire.
Andy also volunteers for Salisbury CCTV and helped track criminals who stole ÂŁ3,000 worth of goods back in March.
The PCC said Andy’s dedication and commitment is "to be applauded" and that his skills and experience help Cadets learn respect, to take responsibility for their actions and to always try their best.
In a personal message written by the outgoing Police and Crime Commissioner, Angus MacPherson, thanked Andy for "all the great work and voluntary contribution you have made to Wiltshire Police and the communities we serve."
Training cadets is a role Andy has enjoyed for many years. He said:
"I have been assisting in the training of police cadets, now in our fourth year, and it still gives me pleasure to see them develop over the weeks.
"I never thought I would be recognised in this way as it is a role I really enjoy doing. I feel very humbled to receive the award."
Andy helps train the cadets alongside his work as a City Ranger with Salisbury Business Improvement District.
Robin McGowan, Chief Executive of Salisbury BID said:
"We are very lucky to have Andy on our team. As Salisbury BID’s City Ranger he works tirelessly to help city centre businesses and keep Salisbury looking its best but he does so much more.
"Andy volunteers not just with the police but also with Salisbury CCTV. He really does do a lot of great work for the community and this award recognises that. We are very proud of him."
