Justice Awards 2008

The 2008 Justice Awards ceremony for Staffordshire took place on 24 October 2008 in Lichfield - paying tribute and allowing invited friends, family, work colleagues and line managers to celebrate the success of local winners.

The local Justice Awards for Staffordshire is part of a national scheme that recognises excellence in the Criminal Justice System. In its fifth year, it gave staff and volunteers the opportunity to nominate colleagues and teams to help them receive the recognition they deserve for their achievements - those who ‘went the extra mile’ in their work with victims, witnesses, defendants or offenders.

In 2008 there were fifteen award categories for individuals and teams, winners were chosen by the Chief Officers from the seven Criminal Justice Agencies in Staffordshire. The awards were presented by Harry Ireland, Chief Crown Prosecutor, Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Staffordshire and Peter Lewis, Chief Executive, CPS and National Criminal Justice Board member.

The Justice Awards was part of Inside Justice Week where the Criminal Justice System was opened up to the public to show how justice is done. The general public and specially invited guests attended 14 events at 12 different venues throughout Staffordshire - for further information click here.

Chris Sims, Chair of Staffordshire Criminal Justice Board and Chief Constable, Staffordshire Police said: “Congratulations to all our winners, to see our staff recognised in our award scheme is a real tribute to the work that is being done across the Criminal Justice System in Staffordshire. The Board’s priority is to increase public confidence in the system and rebalance it in favour of the law-abiding majority. The winners will go a long way in demonstrating that our joined-up approach really can make a difference.”
