Earlier this week retired BTP Officer and BTPHG member, Brian Deacon, was given an award by the International Police Association (BTP Branch).
In recognition of his 60 years of membership, the branch created the Brian Deacon Award, given to the Branch member who has most embodied the IPA and/or contributed significantly to the BTP Branch.
The Branch reported: “At our AGM earlier today in London we presented Brian with the first award for his many decades of service (he did smile in person, I promise). In the background is an article from the BTP Journal (Force magazine) from 1969 with Brian in his IPA role presenting a plaque.”
The BTP History Group would like to add our congratulations.

The HG were able to assist in providing the image used at the ceremony.
Well done. A great guy and cop, many patrols and laughs.
Thanks Ken, I’m sure he’d appreciate your comments.
