A host of people from Nottinghamshire have been recognised for their hard work and services in this year's Queen's Honours List, released on her Platinum Jubilee weekend. Deputy Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police Rachel Barber and Nottingham Playhouse Chief Executive Stephanie Sirr are among those awarded and recognised for their services to the city and county.
DCC Barber has been given the Queen's Police Medal for 2022. She said: “I am extremely humbled, surprised and honoured to receive this award. I am immensely proud of the progress Nottinghamshire Police has made and continues to make, more recently alongside colleagues in Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, and that I’ve been able to be part of that journey.
"To see the influx of so many new officers and staff from diverse backgrounds has been one of the most rewarding moments in my career and to be able to train them in our new combined headquarters building is the icing on the cake."
