| Citation: | Queens Birthday Honours. 23212246 Staff Sergeant Peter Hill, RMP. HQ SIB BAOR. Unit Forensic, Photographic, Fingerprint and Drugs NCO. December 1968 to now.Citation: S/Sgt Hill joined the Corps of Royal Military Police in 1958 at the age of 20, having previously served for two years in the Intelligence Corps. In 1959 he was selected for SIB duties and from the outset took every available opportunity in his own time to increase his knowledge in the field of scientific aids to crime detection particularly in the identification of forged documents and police photography. As a result his is now a member of the British Academy of Forensic Sciences and the Royal Photographic Society. In 1964 he attended the Metropolitan Police Scenes of Crime Course where his outstanding ability drew extremely favourable comment. He then served for 3 years in Cyprus where his expert services were frequently in demand after normal duty hours by the Cyprus and SBA Police Forces. S/Sgt Hill commenced his present tour in BAOR in Dec 68 and again his expertise has been such sought after particularly in gathering of forensic evidence and latterly in connection with all aspects of drug abuse and finger print identification. He has been on call 24 hours a day and his enthusiasm has not flagged for one moment; his sole aim in life is to be of service. In 1970 he received an outstandingly good report following a finger-print course at New Scotland yard. He has organised and perfected measures taken by SIB to combat the sudden increase in drug offences involving not only soldiers but their dependants in BAOR. He suet up a close working ling with both the German and US CID narcotic investigators and has ensured a constant flow of information relating to the sources of drugs and their manner of distribution. With typical foresight and unbounding energy he produced - practically thew whole of it in his own time - a fully automatic tape and slide colour presentation designed especially to suit the needs of the junior officer and NCO who may be brought into contact with the problem of drug abuse amongst teenagers. This has been highly commended by the British Forces Education Service and is now being shown to teaching staffs and parents throughout BAOR. S/Sgt Hill has made an outstanding contribution to the measures taken in BAOR to contain the problem of drug abuse in the Army. His efforts have been far beyond the call of duty and have much enhanced not only the reputation of his Corps, but the Army as a whole.Recommended by; Lt/Col, APM SIB, BAOR. Brig. Dusseldorf. General, C in C BAOR. |
