Olivia, who joined Sussex Police from Avon and Somerset in 2009 as assistant chief constable, was promoted to her present position in 2014. She has worked with HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and is the national policing lead for children and young people.

She said: “I am extremely honoured and grateful to receive this award, which is as much for the many colleagues in Sussex and other areas who I have worked with over the years, as myself.

“Policing has changed so much since I became a PC in 1991, but I have the same passion for the job now as I did then.”

Chief Constable Giles York said: “All of us at Sussex Police extend our huge congratulations to Olivia on her award, which is richly deserved.
