Uniform public workers commended for long service

(CNS): Some 45 medals were handed out to officers from the Cayman Islands uniformed services last week for distinguished service.  Employees of the Royal Cayman Islands Police, Special Constabulary, Fire, and Prison services were presented with Colonial Long Service Awards during a Government House ceremony on Thursday. Governor Duncan Taylor and Deputy Governor Franz Manderson presented the gongs to men and women who had served from nine to 30 years. Manderson said that the officers were being rewarded for ‘long service in their respective roles, for good character and for conduct considered to have been exemplary’.

The Colonial Fire Brigade Long Service Medal, the Colonial Police Long Service Medal, the Colonial Prison Long Service Medal and the Colonial Special Constabulary Medal were the awards which were given out at the ceremony.
