Winner: beat officer for Sileby, Pc Gordon Doudie, of Loughborough police station.

According to senior officers: "The local youth club had been closed for three years and as a result there was nothing for the local youths to do.

"Utilising the Restorative Justice System, Gordon arranged through the Youth Offending Service to re-decorate the building and shortly after the club was re-opened.

"He now devotes hours of his own time to being a member of the club's committee.

"Gordon has raised thousands of pounds for local charities and good causes through his assorted fund raising activities – the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Rainbows, a cycle ride from Cumbria to Whitby for a local girl with cerebral palsy and he has recently cycled across Scotland to raise money for a young man who was involved in a life changing accident.
