Double Winner
Police community support officer (PCSO) Mark Safranauskas has just become part of a very select group.
He has now twice been a winner of a Chief Constable’s Excellence Award – described as Greater Manchester Police’s equivalent to an Oscar – following his becoming Police Community Support Officer of the Year at last week’s award ceremony.
Mark, who is a member of the Force’s Moss Side Neighbourhood Policing Team, was last year’s winner of the Police Staff Employee of the Year award, making him one of the few people in the Force to have been a winner on two occasions.
His award came for the work he has done to build a strong rapport with the local community. His nomination contained praise from residents for his sense of humour and approachable nature.
The work he's undertaken to reduce antisocial behaviour was especially recognised as there has been a 33% reduction of incidents over the past year.
He also received praise from a senior officer of the Force's Xcalibre Task Force for his contribution to reducing gang related violence in the area.
In addition, his efforts have been recognised from the various external agencies he works alongside.
