The Chief Constable’s Bravery and Excellence Awards 2021 took place yesterday (25 February 2022) and local police officer Constable Joy Millican has been awarded Probationary Constable of the Year.
Joy has been a member of Team 3 Drylaw Response since August 2020 after excelling during her probationer training at the Scottish Police College, which led to her receiving awards for her academic achievements and officer safety skills.
Her pride in her performance is exhibited in her daily approach and enthusiasm for her role. Her professionalism impresses not only her colleagues and supervisors but also the public and professional partners. She has received feedback acknowledging her sensitivity and compassion when dealing with incidents of a delicate nature.
Joy volunteered to attend an “Anatomy of Giving Evidence” course to enhance her skills in this area and produced guidance documents for her peers to help them gain knowledge and confidence in relation to court proceedings.
Chief Inspector Sarah Taylor, Local Area Commander for the North West of Edinburgh, said: “I’m absolutely delighted for Joy and this award is well deserved.
“Joy is a credit to Police Scotland and I’d like to congratulate her on being awarded Probationary Constable of the Year. She is performing at a standard far beyond what is expected of her at this level of her service and she is a valued member of the team who offers guidance and support to colleagues of all experience and service.”
