Celebrating Service: RRT Awarded at Plymouth Police Ceremony

The Rapid Relief Team (RRT) has been awarded the Super Intendent Certificate at the annual Devon and Cornwall Force Awards in recognition of the charity’s ‘unwavering support’ for the local police force. 

On November 13th, at Boringdon Park Golf Club, Plymouth BCU Commander T/Chief Superintendent Scott Bradley led an unforgettable ceremony with VIP guests, including the Lord Mayor of Plymouth.

RRT Plymouth received the Superintendent’s Certificate in recognition of its local volunteer’s hard work, commitment, and support during significant incidents and missing person searches. Volunteers and community members who had previously supported the police were also honoured for their bravery and selflessness.

Chief Superintendent Scott Bradley expressed his gratitude about RRT saying, “We want to thank the RRT for their invaluable support to our forces throughout the year. The provision of hot food and refreshments during spontaneous operations is an especially welcome sight to those who have been working long and challenging hours.  

“As a volunteer charity, we appreciate their hard work organising and offering catering support at such a short notice. This award especially commends the RRT and its volunteers for their selflessness and dedication in times of need.”

The event celebrated the vital and heroic efforts of those serving the Plymouth policing area and expressed appreciation for their unwavering commitment to keeping the community safe. It concluded with a drinks reception and buffet, bringing together emergency services, volunteers, and community members to honour their hard work and reflect on the day’s achievements.

This annual event serves as a crucial reminder of how vital emergency services are, appreciating their dedication daily to protecting the community. RRT is privileged to support the police at many Red Tent events and will continue to stand by them in their efforts.
