First South Asian Met Outreach Recognition Awards organised by Ehre Productions
On FRIDAY 17th MAY 2024, EHRE PRODUCTIONS: Metropolitan Police Community Outreach Partner, organised the first South Asian Met Outreach Recognition Awards at the beautiful Grand Sapphire Hotel & Banqueting London.
More than 60 Metropolitan Police officers were present alongside South Asian community members under one roof. Media coverage was provided by South Asian news channels, including ARY Geo, 92 News and Dunya News.
This event was organised to celebrate unity, diversity, and to recognise and acknowledge the efforts of our very own London Metropolitan Police. Our main motive was to bring the communities together and to reduce the gap between law enforcement organisations and the local communities.
Various police officers were given recognition awards from distinguished community members. This event will be recognised as a stepping stone towards building trust and a stronger, more united London.
We had multiple inspiring speeches from high achievers of British Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Nepalese origin.
In the concluding speech, The CEO of Ehre Productions: Modasser Zaki, the main event organiser, highlighted the importance of such initiatives in fostering mutual respect and understanding between the police and the community. He showed his gratitude to the police officers sacrificing and risking their lives for the public and also their families being supportive towards their professional lives.
He also mentioned that the Metropolitan Police is not just enforcers of the law; they are the partners in building a safer, more connected community. Policing is about protecting the community, helping the vulnerable and ensuring that the local neighbourhoods are safe and can trust them.
According to Modasser Zaki the most impactful aspect of the program was witnessing the diversity within the police force. This diversity illustrates that when individuals from various cultures and beliefs unite with a common goal, they can achieve remarkable outcomes. It was an inspiring experience to see such representation and commitment firsthand. It showed that the community’s safety is in the hands of people who understand and respect the diversity of London.
Mr. Zaki concluded by expressing that, as an Ahmadi Muslim, the concept of “serving humanity” is at the heart of his beliefs.
Reflecting on the campaign’s hashtag, , he reminded everyone that the power to effect positive change lies within each of us.
