Minister fires up drive for 999 medals
Daily Express
|February 04, 2026
CAMPAIGNERS took their fight for a medal for injured emergency service personnel to the policing minister's office yesterday.
The Daily Express crusade Honour Our Injured 999 Heroes is backing the push led by former police inspector Tom Curry.
He is supported by a host of ex-officers, as well as former fire and ambulance crew, seeking recognition for the wounds they suffered putting their lives on the line to protect the public.
Cross-party support is swelling for a move for injured emergency service personnel to get a medal, just like colleagues do posthumously if they are killed in the line of duty.
