Hampshire-based police staff member awarded at national event after saving three people
Police Contact Enquiry Officer, Anna Beaudro who is based in Fareham, was commended for her selfless actions during emergencies
A Police Contact Enquiry Officer from Hampshire who saved the lives of three people has won the Staff Bravery Award at the first ever Senior Police Staff Network National Police Staff Awards 2025.
As a Police Contact Enquiry Officer, Anna Beaudro who is based in Fareham, faces numerous challenges, from assisting those on bail to responding to crime reports and vehicle seizures. However, it’s her selfless actions during emergencies that truly stand out.
In the last year alone, Anna has responded to several life-threatening incidents, showcasing her bravery and quick thinking. Notably, she helped save a man’s life in April by administering CPR after he suffered a heart attack, supported a woman experiencing seizures in May, and provided critical first aid to a man who had been seriously injured in September. These acts of courage have undoubtedly made a significant difference in the lives of the individuals she assisted.
Anna, who has been a PCEO for almost 16 years, said: “I get job satisfaction being able to help people, sometimes when they are at their most vulnerable, feeling like I am making a difference to their lives.”
Assistant Chief Constable Robert France, said: "Anna’s remarkable bravery in handling incredibly stressful situations, which ultimately led to the saving of three lives, has rightfully earned her national recognition through the Staff Bravery Award. As Police Contact Enquiry Officers, our team members are often the first point of contact for individuals in crisis, requiring them to act swiftly and decisively. Anna exemplified these qualities in a truly exceptional manner. Her actions serve as a powerful testament to the dedication, courage, and professionalism of police staff who play an essential role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our communities."
Anna has also been invited to an award ceremony by the Royal Humane Society which will take place later this year. She will receive a certificate by the Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire for the CPR incident in April.
