Awards Ceremony 2025

On Thursday 1st May in London, Lord Lingfield was pleased to present certificates to Super Recognisers and Super Matchers who had completed their SRI courses in 2024 and 2025. Some of the highest scoring SRs were present. Prof Josh Davis also gave a talk on his latest SR research.

Additionally, Lord Lingfield conferred Honorary Fellowship on recently retired PC Jamie Smith. Jamie was the Met’s first Super Recogniser and used his skill to solve hundreds of crimes. Mike Neville gave a presentation on three of Jamie’s best cases - including a murder being sent to jail due to Jamie’s identification of a very poor quality CCTV image.

The previous evening, many of the attendees had enjoyed a Crime Tour of London delivered by Mike, followed by a few beers!
