Mobile Squad police officers decorated for bravery
Two police officers from the Mobile Sqaud have been decorated for their heroic confrontation with armed robbers who attempted to steal from HSBC Bank's Operations Centre in Qormi on June 30.
The two officers exchanged fire with the would-be robbers when they came under heavy fire when they arrived on the scene to respond to an emergency call.
Home affairs minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici who praised the two officers courage and sense of duty, decorated the officers in the presence of Commissioner John Rizzo during a ceremony to mark Police Day.
The two officers recieved a gold pin, a letter of merit and seven days off duty.

We have a Police Force to be proud of and we thank God that these two
Officers came out of this situation safe and sound after doing thier duty to the full
Dear Officers we are proud of you two and all your collagues in the Force
above all our thanks goes to our Police Commissioner John Rizzo for doing a sterling job 24 hours a day in taking care of both Maltese and Gozitan society
Sometimes we read on local papers about citizens critics on our force not doing thier job and I always wrote back and will keep answering these
so named law abiding citizens to try a weekend break and do thier duties to the full in areas like St Julians/Paceville etc
Well done once on all our behalf - we are proud of you two and all
