PC Adnan Ali scoops yet another award - and poses proudly for a picture with then Chief Constable Ian Hopkins.
The top cop had no idea the officer he had just handed a 'Citizens in Policing' gong to - for inspiring teenagers from troubled backgrounds to join the police - had been abusing his reputation to groom youngsters to satisfy his own perverted sexual desires.
The picture was taken in the summer of 2018 - in October of that year Ali, who led GMP's growing cadet scheme in Trafford, was arrested, and his sleazy conduct began to unravel. Detectives would later suspect he may not have been acting alone.
