Award a George Medal to Simon Ellis for saving the life of a police officer.

Mr. Simon Ellis saved the life of a female police officer in Sheffield. Despite the threat to life, he knowingly & bravely placed himself in danger & dragged the injured officer to a place of safety during a sustained axe attack by a male. The PM should recommend him to receive the George Medal.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament as a whole are not responsible for the issue you raise. Civilian gallantry awards recognise bravery by people who have attempted to or saved the life of a British citizen who isn’t a family member or close friend. Nominations are judged on:

Degree of risk
How aware the nominee was of the danger
Persistence

Whether someone gets an honour - and the honour they get - is decided by an honours committee. The committee’s decisions go to the Prime Minister and then to the Queen, who awards the honour.
