Four long-serving Fitzroy Crossing police officers were honoured this week for their service and their role in strengthening trust between authorities and community in the northern Kimberley town.

Samuel Keith Andrews, Peter Murray, Vivienne Gordon and Thomas Worrigal were awarded Aboriginal Police Service Medals on Monday at the Fitzroy Crossing Police Station for their work which spanned the late 1990s and 2000s.

Mr Murray could not attend the ceremony, so his son accepted his award on his behalf.

The Aboriginal Police Service Medal recognises the cultural insight, leadership and steady community presence of Aboriginal personnel within the WA Police Force, particularly in regional and remote areas where relationships are central to policing.

Senior Sergeant Mark Howes, Officer in Charge at Fitzroy Crossing Police Station, said their service helped close longstanding divides between police and residents.

"These medals acknowledge the dedication and leadership each recipient has shown throughout their careers," Senior Sergeant Howes said.

"Their service has strengthened local relationships and contributed to safer outcomes for families across Fitzroy Crossing."
