Contributor Bio(s): Griffiths, Hywel: - "Hywel Griffiths has received numerous Chief Constable's commendations for the quality of his analytical work into serious major and organised crime enquiries, during his police service since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and he has also been awarded with two Chief Constable's commendations for his courage and bravery during his service before diagnosis. About 4 years ago - he started writing poems after I got fed up of people coming into our office and moaning about trivialities. This poetry writing has expanded somewhat and after having a couple of poems published in poetry compilations, in magazine articles and regular postings on the intranet of Gwent Police, he has had three books of poetry writing published. In May 2015 he was presented by the Chief Constable of Gwent Police with the Gareth HOPKINS Memorial Award for the courage shown in overcoming adversity and being an inspiration to others. In the June 2015 he was awarded the Queen's Police Medal for distinguished police service and for work that done into raising awareness of Parkinson's disease, and promoting the role of disabled people in the workplace. It was a very proud and humbling moment when he attended at Buckingham Palace to be presented with this award by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II." |
