Sovereign Base Area Police inspector, Katerina Theodorou, was presented with the prestigious Leadership Award during the British Overseas Territory Women in Policing Conference in the Cayman Islands on March 5.
According to SBA police statment, Inspector Theodorou, who works as a Training Officer at the police’s Dhekelia station, received the award for her ‘long-term commitment to leadership’ and for using her ‘exceptional personal skills’ to have a positive impact on those she works with.
Speaking after returning from the conference last week, the 52-year-old, 26-year police veteran, who has overseen the recruitment of close to 40 per cent of the current police force, admitted to feeling shocked to have won the award.
She explained: “I found myself in disbelief, it was a really emotional moment for me when the Governor called my name to go and get the award.
“It was a great moment and definitely one of the highlights of my career. I feel deeply honoured to have received this prestigious award and truly humbled to be acknowledged in this way.
“It inspires me to continue striving for excellence and making a positive impact in my field. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the organisers for this incredible recognition.”
