Dear Mr Schofield

I write in connection with your request for information dated 24^th
October under the Freedom of Information Act.

Specifically you asked:

Please can you let me know the amount an officer of Avon and Somerset
Police Force receives on reaching 20 years’ service. Lincolnshire Police
give their officers £50 in retail vouchers.

Nationally police officers are recognised for long service. Our force runs
long service and good conduct awards where the officer receives a medal
and a scroll after reaching 20 years’ service.

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Pritchard
