Bridlington police team recognised with national award
The town's Early Intervention Team have been honoured at the virtual Howard League Community Awards Ceremony
Humberside Police's Early Intervention Team in Bridlington have been recognised for their outstanding work supporting children and families at an online national awards ceremony earlier this week.
The team, who sit within the local Neighbourhood Policing Team, were given the award in the category of Policing and Adult at the virtual Howard League Community Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, 20 October.
Working in collaboration with a range of services across the East Riding, the Bridlington Early Intervention project protects some of the town's most vulnerable children, young people and families, diverting them from crime and antisocial behaviour and tackling the harmful implications of Domestic Abuse.
The team’s project on Domestic Abuse not only won them the award this week, it also saw them be highly commended at the MJ Local Government Achievements Awards last week.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Anderson said: “Protecting vulnerable people and keeping them safe is one of our highest priorities here at Humberside Police and this is something that our Early Intervention teams do day-in, day-out.
“To have their work recognised at a national awards event is really fantastic and the officers and staff involved should all be very proud of their hard work and dedication. The positive impact that their actions have had on the families that they work with is really remarkable and it is great to see this recognised at a national level.
“These projects are really good examples of multi-agency problem solving and I would also like to say a huge well done and thank you to our partner organisations and charities, who work incredibly closely with the teams to ensure that we achieve long term and sustainable solutions to help those in need.”
