Five Greater Manchester Police officers and staff have been recognised for their commitment and dedication following the Manchester Arena attack.

Detective Chief Inspector Teresa Lam, Special Sergeant Jared Simpson, Robert Gallagher, Constable Michael Buckley and Chief Inspector Dale Sexton have all received honours in the New Year’s Honours.

Det Ch Insp Teresa Lam and Special Sgt Jared Simpson both receive the British Empire Medal for services to policing.

Ch Insp Dale Sexton and Constable Michael Buckley receive the Queen’s Police Medal.

Robert Gallagher receives an MBE for services to policing for his work in managing the forensic response to the attack including the victim identification.

Stu Berry, Chairman of Greater Manchester Police Federation, said:

“It is great to see so many colleagues from GMP recognised by the Queen in the New Year’s Honours. We are proud of them all.

“22 May 2017 is a day we will never forget and our thoughts remain with all the victims and their families.

“The response from all colleagues across GMP in a number of roles that day/night was tremendous in the most harrowing of circumstances – and to see some of our colleagues be honoured in this manner is only right and proper.”

Det Ch Insp Lam said:

“Receiving this recognition is a significant moment in my personal and professional life. It’s a huge privilege, and one for which I am truly honoured.

“However, I will never forget those who have suffered and to whom I remain dedicated to continue to support.

“I am immensely proud of my Family Liaison team who also worked tirelessly to provide support to those affected.”

Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said:

“The response to the attack on May 22, 2017 was truly outstanding and I am immensely proud of everything that the officers and staff of Greater Manchester Police did on that day and the days that followed.

“The honours for Teresa, Jared, Robert, Michael and Dale recognise the commitment, dedication and professionalism they showed in such horrific circumstances.

“They represent all of their colleagues in receiving these honours as well as their own exceptional work.”

Although now retired from the Force, former Inspector Terry Finn also received a Queen’s Police Medal (QPM) for his services to policing.

According to the GMP Federation website, after 30 years’ service, Terry now volunteers with guide dogs.

We are proud to act as a voice for the Emergency Services & Health Service, with over 450,000 people visiting our website each month.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
