Dominican David Michael Awarded With MBE for Service in London Police

David Michael, a Dominican serving as a police officer in the Lewisham area of Greater London has been honoured as a Member of the British Empire (MBE). Michael received the award for his meritorious service in the police department following a service that spanned 30 years.

Michael became the first Afro-Caribbean to serve in the Lewisham police force; and one of only 11 black officers to serve in a force that exceeded 22,000.

A Detective Chief Inspector with Scotland Yard, Michael got nominated for the award and ultimately won it.

“I am pleased and proud to receive this special Honour,” he said. “I am grateful to those who made the time to nominate me and considered me worthy of consideration. I am also grateful to those who made the ultimate decision to approve me for the award.”

Michael has a honourary Master of Laws degree from the University of Greenwich, Honourary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Westminster, and an Honourary Master of Arts degree from London Metropolitan University.

Michael served as a Lewisham Councillor for a four-year term representing Evelyn ward in Deptford. He was awarded the inaugural Mayor of Lewisham Citizenship Award; the inaugural ‘Our London, Our future’ award from former Prime Minister Tony Blair; and was the winner of the Positive Role Model – Race, Religion and Faith at the National Diversity Awards in Leeds.

Just recently, Michael was appointed by the government of Dominica as a consultant to help with the reclassification of police officers and their appropriate remuneration in the drive to overhaul the Dominican Police Force.
