Trustee Chief Constable Jo Shiner receives KPM
Sussex Chief Constable Jo Shiner has been awarded the King’s Police Medal (KPM).
CC Shiner is a very close partner in the road safety arena and dedicated contributor to our work, as both NPCC Lead for Roads Policing and a valued member of The Road Safety Trust’s Board of Trustees for the past four years.
She has served as a police officer for more than 32 years. The medal recognises her distinguished services to policing, which started in Norfolk in 1993, as well as her vital national work to reduce crime and save lives on Britain’s roads as the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) lead for Roads Policing.
It also reflects her wide-ranging charitable work over many years to support volunteers and some of the most vulnerable in society.
CC Shiner said: “I am delighted and humbled to receive this medal on behalf of all those with whom I have had the privilege to work alongside, because policing is all about the team work.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have enjoyed a challenging career which has complimented the different charities that I have been proud and pleased to support during my years of service.
“I have felt particularly privileged to lead the NPCC Roads policing portfolio team who collectively try to influence changes, which will vitally save loved ones from being killed and seriously injured on our roads.”
In her NPCC role, Jo continues to raise the profile and importance of road safety, and speaks out about vital legislative, behavioural and procedural changes which could save lives in the future.
She meets regularly with families affected by death and serious injury on the roads and actively supports those charities upon whom those families depend to ensure their voices are heard.
Tony Fuller, Chair of Trustees for The Road Safety Trust, said: “I’d like to congratulate Jo on receiving this great honour, which is richly deserved.
“Her support and guidance on road safety matters over the past few years has been invaluable and I look forward to her continued support in helping us to achieve our vision of zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads.”
