QUEENSLAND POLICE SERVICE
Police officers from the Moreton District were recognised for their bravery, dedication, and significant years of service at the Moreton District Awards Ceremony this month.
Acting Assistant Commissioner Glen Morris presented 61 awards including a bravery award, the National Service Medals, State Service Medals, and Special Awards including the Dave Masters Award.
“We recognised the exceptional service and commitment of officers and staff of the Queensland Police Service with the presentation of National and Queensland Police Service awards,” A/Assistant Commissioner Morris said.
“These awards acknowledge the dedication and commitment shown by the recipients to their duties and I thank them for their service to the Queensland Police Service and to the greater community”.

Five officers received the National Police Service Medal, eleven were awarded National Medals and Clasps, and one officer was awarded a bravery medal.
Senior Constable George Lang (pictured, right) received the bravery medal for his quick thinking, brave and selfless actions in protecting the lives of his fellow officers and the community at Redcliffe in 2021.
On September 21, 2021 Senior Constable Lang disarmed an armed person who had crashed into a parked car at the front of the Redcliffe Police Station.
Senior Constable Lang, who was unarmed, attended when he heard the crash while working in the Redcliffe Watch house. Senior Constable Lang bravely wrestled alone with the armed offender after two other officers were threatened at gun point.
“When I was informed that I was receiving the bravery award, I felt very honoured,” Senior Constable Lang said.
“I’m not sure if proud is the right word to describe what I did. I never thought I would ever be in a situation like that.
“As a QPS member, when our backs are against the wall, we will all dig deep to help each other to the best of our abilities.”
