Police Constables Michelle Gee and Simon Toft will be praised for their bravery after they apprehended a gun-wielding thief.
Armed with a baton and Taser, the officers entered a property in Stockport at the end of last year in response to a report of burglary.
The offender, Steven Bowen ran down the stairs and pointed a firearm towards the head and chest area of PC Toft.
Fearing for his and PC Gee’s safety, PC Toft responded by shouting ‘TASER TASER’ and fired it at the offender, causing him to fall to the floor.
Ahead of receiving his award, PC Toft said: “At the time of the incident, I believed the firearm to be real and had genuine concerns for our safety. Receiving this award is an honour and I’m grateful for the recognition”.
PC Gee added “Having your work and achievements recognised formally is important and I’m very grateful to receive this award.”
The offender was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment.
