“It is an honour to nominate Beverley for her exceptional service at the New Zealand Police Gisborne Station. For well over 14 years, she has been the welcoming face and reassuring voice at our front desk, providing vital operational stability.
The front counter is a high-pressure environment, but Beverley navigates it with rare warmth, patience, and absolute professionalism. She de-escalates tense situations with her calm demeanour and ensures every visitor is treated with dignity.
Beverley efficiently handles critical administrative tasks, allowing frontline officers to focus on active policing. Her core responsibilities include:
Directing public inquiries to the correct departments. Assisting with lost property, vehicle queries, and documentation. Maintaining an organised and accessible reception area.
Beverley perfectly embodies the police values of Manaakitanga (Respect), Competence, and Commitment to Community. By selflessly giving her time, energy, and heart for over 14 years, she has significantly enhanced public trust and lifted station morale. She is a deeply valued team member and highly deserving of formal recognition".
