Detective Constable Kate Crompton has received the King’s Police Medal.
She was presented with the award by Princess Anne at an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
Crompton was recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours earlier this year for distinguished service in the investigation of serious sexual offences and for her exceptional support to victims and their families.
Throughout her career, the Isle of Man Constabulary says, she had demonstrated outstanding professionalism, resilience and compassion. This was particularly while investigating some of the most serious and complex sexual offences brought before the courts.
Her investigative skill and determination have led to the conviction of numerous dangerous offenders, including serial perpetrators and individuals who abused positions of trust.
This work has attracted praise from victims, their families, colleagues, prosecutors and members of the judiciary alike, and she is recognised as an investigator of exceptional ability, integrity and dedication.
Exceptional Service
Chief Constable Russ Foster said: “Kate’s sustained professionalism, tenacity and commitment in dealing with some of the most complex and sensitive investigations are truly exceptional.
“Her determination to bring the perpetrators of these heinous crimes to justice, whilst providing compassionate support to victims and their families, has been evident throughout her career.”
He added: “This award is fitting recognition of her dedication and achievements over many years. I am proud of all that she has accomplished and offer my sincere congratulations on her receipt of the King’s Police Medal.”
