MPS Commissioner Sir Ian Blair paid tribute
MPS Commissioner Sir Ian Blair paid tribute on 4th July 2007 to the extraordinary bravery, professionalism and dedication of officers and staff at a special Commendations ceremony.
Two Wandsworth officers commended for their bravery
PCs Katy Shepherd and Charlotte Bradbeer-Dubery, based at Wandsworth, were presented with Commissioner's Commendations after helping save the sight of two colleagues who had been sprayed in the face with acid.
27-year old PC Shepherd 24-year old Bradbeer-Dubery, were first on the scene of the attack in Earslfield in April 2006. By this time deep burns caused by acid were spreading across the faces and arms of two colleagues. Despite the dangers of cross-contamination, the PCs organised a supply of water from nearby restaurants to douse the wounds. This first aid later proved to be sight-saving for both officers.
