Among those awarded were PC Ian Bargus, who has helped rehouse 16 vulnerable families at risk of gang crime in the borough, and PC Laura Halliwell, who was attacked while arresting a man.

"I was extremely proud to present these awards to officers, staff and members of the public.
"All those commended have shown the highest commitment to delivering an excellent service to the community in Waltham Forest”.
