An army officer is recognised for a 30 year military career, as he embarks on a new endeavour as a police officer and swaps serving his country for serving his community.
On Friday (February 23), we welcomed 65 new recruits into our police family during a special ceremony at our HQ in Chelmsford.
The ceremony was particularly special for one individual officer, Pc Scott Noonan, as he was recognised for his 30 year career with the Army during the ceremony with a Meritorious Service Medal.
Scott was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in the New Year’s Honours list in recognition of his fine service and outstanding achievements during his military career.
Brigadier Dave Neal, Provost Marshall of the Royal Military Police and Provost Sergeant Major Marc Thomson, also from the Royal Military Police, attended Scott’s passing out parade on February 23 to present him with the prestigious medal.
