Chief Superintendent Mark Mathias, Policing Commander for the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot areas, has been awarded the Queen’s Police Medal for distinguished service.
Deputy Chief Constable Colette Paul wished to congratulate Mark for the incredible achievement.
She said: “My warmest congratulations go to Mark. He is an absolute credit to South Wales Police and this award is wholly deserved.”
“Throughout his service, Mark has been a true leader and has gone way above the call of duty as Commander of policing for Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.
“His unique policing style has made a tremendous difference to our communities, and is evidenced in the lasting relationships he has built in the local area and the falling crime figures for the western area of the force.
DCC Paul added: “I know Mark’s friends and colleagues from South Wales Police, our partner agencies, and our communities will be delighted he has received this recognition.”
