Recruitment
“On the 11th August 2023, James Smedley, Thomas Taylor and Dillon Xerxes were patrolling Worthing Railway Station when they noticed a young female acting strangely. According to station staff, she had been at the station for hours. The officers decided to speak to her, where they quickly noticed that she had cuts and fresh blood down her arm. When talking to her, she attempts to get onto the tracks, after restraining her for some time; whilst they waited for BTP to arrive, she produced a razor blade which she tried to use to injure herself again. The three of them managed to remove it from her hands and reduce any further injury to herself or others. She was detained under 136 of the Mental Health Act and was taken away by BTP after a fair wait.
I have no doubt if it wasn't for Tom, James or Dillon, the female would've caused herself or even others, some serious damage. Although this award was for an individual, I believe all three should be awarded this.“
“I would like to thank everyone involved in the Railstaff awards, and also the event itself was absolutely superb, what a brilliant evening, I am still smiling. Thank you very much.”
