HIS long and distinguished
police career
began in Southampton
docks more than 31
years ago.
Since then Randy
Otter has worked tirelessly,
professionally
and for charity.
Today his unrelenting
hard work, which saw
him cycle the length of
the country and climb
the three highest mountains
in the UK, will be
rewarded at the highest
level when he is made
an MBE by the Queen.
Randy, 50, was born in
Goa and came to the UK
in 1969.
Living in Woolston, he
was a pupil at Merry
Oak Junior School and
Itchen College.
It was in November
1976 that he joined the
British Transport
Police with a job at
Southampton docks as
a constable.

From there Randy,
nicknamed "the quiet
man" by his friends and
colleagues, moved to
the railways in the city
before being made a
sergeant and moving to
Paddington.
After working in the
mobile support unit
also covering Euston
station, Randy became
an inspector at
London's Victoria station,
before being
appointed as a chief
inspector.
Much of his spare
time has also been
devoted to charity work
including a cycling
challenge and the Three
Peaks Challenge.
He will receive his
honour at Buckingham
Palace today watched
by his wife Val, their
two daughters and
grandchildren
