For Hawke's Bay Police Sergeant Susan Robinson her work alongside colleague Senior Constable Sue Guy has been a fruitful one - in terms of what she had achieved and in terms of recognition.
Like her colleague, she has been made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to New Zealand police and youth.
She joined the New Zealand Police in 1997 and has served in the Wellington and Eastern District regions, as well as doing a stint in Bougainville.
Those who have worked with her, and who put her forward for recognition said as a Youth Aid officer for nine years she had "gone above and beyond her expected duties".
With her colleague she embarked on organising and delivering youth orientated programmes - programmes which were both lauded as well as as picked up throughout other police districts.
