Meet Community Engagement Officer PC Katie Flynn, winner of our Pride in Policing Problem-Solving Award 2024 👋 It’s Hate Crime Awareness Week and we’re recognising advocates in our force, like Katie, who help us in our mission to reduce hate crime in Northumbria and provide support for the victims who suffer hate crime. Katie is passionate about raising awareness of the effects hate crime among school-aged children. In her role, she has worked alongside uniformed services students at Ashington College to create an engaging video teaching children about the impact of hate crime and how to report it. Congratulations, Katie on your award and your continued commitment to the communities you serve 👏 #NationalHCAW #HateCrimeAwareness
