Over the course of August, the force is posting details on social media about some of its unsung heroes and PC Terri Discenza was one of the first to be recognised.
It is five years since the officer was knocked over by an off-road biker while responding to reports of anti social behaviour.
The leg injuries she received in the incident were so severe that doctors advised against returning to front-line duties.
But after months of rehabilitation, she came back to active service and is today a member of the Chelmsley Wood neighbourhood team.
As part of her role she also acts as a secondary school liaison officer, working with pupils to tackle issues such as online grooming, sexual exploitation and knife crime.
Last summer PC Discenza and her colleague PCSO Michelle Collins were presented with a special award by Smith's Wood Sports College.
