The award was presented to Constable Peters by Acting Chief of Police, Peter Lansdown, at a ceremony held in HE the Governor’s Office on Thursday 10 April 2025. This event was conducted virtually, allowing for the participation of other British Overseas Territories award recipients and representatives.
Constable Peters, who joined the St Helena Police Service immediately after graduating high school at 18 years, has demonstrated remarkable professionalism in serving her close-knit community.
