Last week Devon and Cornwall Police hosted a special evening at Sandy Park, home of the Exeter Chiefs, to honour members of the public who went above and beyond to help their communities during the unprecedented snowfall at the beginning of March this year.

An appeal to find the region’s Snow Heroes earlier in the year received in excess of 400 nominations, 24 of whom were chosen by a police panel for special recognition and a commendation from the Commander of Alliance Operations, Chief Superintendent Glen Mayhew.
