Kevin Taylor and Neil Flear have been recognised by Lincolnshire Police in a ceremony at Police Headquarters in Nettleham. Both received commendation for their outstanding work as South Kesteven District Council’s CCTV operators.

 

Kevin has been a CCTV operator since the SKDC CCTV control room was established in 1997. He was joined by Neil in 1998.

 

Chief Superintendent Mark Housley, Area Commander (West) told them: “Over this last year your excellent work has resulted in the identification of suspects for a series of thefts from motor vehicle offences, leading to timely arrests and the recovery of property.

 

“You have also spotted stolen and suspicious vehicles wanted by the police, again leading to a number of arrests, recovery of property and disruption to wider criminal behaviour.

 

“I would like to thank you for the professionalism and exceptional skills that you demonstrate on a daily basis.”

 

Kevin said: “We did not realise how prestigious the award was. We are the first two CCTV control room operators to receive a commendation. It is great to be recognised for what we do. “I don’t think people realise how in-depth and how busy the CCTV control room gets.”
