After two decades spent helping to keep the Milton Keynes public safe, Police Community Support Officer, David Nixon C9681 patrolled the streets for a final time yesterday.
Writing on social media, Thames Valley Police paid tribute at the end of his 'remarkable career', and said: '...from day one you've been much more than a Police Community Support Officer. You've been a pillar of strength, a friendly face, and a steadfast protector of our neighbourhoods.
'Over the last two decades, you've faced challenges, big and small, always unwavering dedication and a calm, reassuring confidence. You've built bridges between the Police force and the people you serve, turning neighbourhoods into communities and strangers into friends. We know that behind the uniform, there's a person who truly cares - someone who has given so much, not just in service but in spirit. Now, as you step into retirement, it's our turn to say thank you.
Here's to Dave - 20 years of outstanding service, and a lifetime of friendship. Cheers!'
