Michael Goucher, Solicitor with Warwickshire Police said: “While I have had the pleasure of working with Peter on countless matters, large and small, over the years, it has always been obvious to me that he has an absolute commitment to multi agency working, to assisting and mentoring his colleagues and clients, all with the aim of improving life for the people of Warwickshire. He has been doing this tirelessly for decades and this herculean effort thoroughly deserves recognition.”
