A daring rescue in the Mary River has earned a Maryborough police officer a bravery award after he entered the water despite a nearby crocodile warning sign.
Recently several Queensland Police Service members were given the Australian Bravery Award.
These awards recognise courage and sacrifice and most importantly, they recognise people who, in a moment of danger or threat, think of others ahead of their own safety.
Constable Drew Harold was awarded for his actions during the rescue of five people after a boating incident at Maryborough on September 25, 2016.
Just before noon, two officers attended a call for assistance after a small boat capsized in the Mary River, Maryborough, throwing two adults and three children into the water that is known to be a habitat for bull sharks and the occasional crocodile.
