Just a week after being invited to No. 10 Downing Street to receive an award for her community policing, PC Lisa Thomas has been presented with the thanks of Bangor City Council for her 20 years of service to city centre safety and more community service.

Mayor Elin Walker-Jones presented Lisa with a bouquet of flowers and signed letter of the City’s thanks at a packed Bangor cathedral Emergency Services carol service on Monday 11 December. 

North Wales Police Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman also thanksed PC Thomas for her dedicated service to the city of Bangor.

“I’m overwhelmed by the kindness of so many people,” said Lisa who is now based in Holyhead. “It would be easy to say that I’ve only been doing my job, but it’s more than that.  It’s a job I loved in Bangor but I never quite realised just how many friends I made here.”
