Lissie Harper's greatest achievement is the creation of Harper's Law, a historic piece of legislation that ensures anyone who kills an emergency worker on duty faces a mandatory life sentence. Her campaign, launched in the wake of her husband's death, demonstrated remarkable determination and resilience. In recognition of her efforts, she was awarded an MBE in 2023, a rare honour for a grassroots campaigner. Her work has had a lasting impact on the legal system and the protection of those who serve the public.
