The crime prevention officer
who had spoken to the victim
said, “Amanda has not only
identified the violence which
is in the process of being
dealt with, but the reassurance
that she has given to this
victim is a testament to her
knowledge and understanding.
As a member of the organisation it gives me great pride when I hear a victim speaking so highly of an officer”.
When asked how Amanda felt to be nominated, she said,
“I am over the moon really and a little bit bashful about it perhaps, [the victim] thinks that without me, her life would have been in the gutter. I’ve made a massive difference to her life”.
An independent panel of judges selected Amanda Holland as their chosen winner for the award. They described Amanda as ‘a very humble and amazing woman, her actions changed someone’s life. She should be very proud”.
Durham Constabulary is extremely proud of Amanda. Amanda did not realise the impact she had made until the nomination came through to The WOW! Awards. Congratulations Amanda you are a true inspiration and an exceptional police officer.
"Without me,
her life would have been in the gutter"
