Encounter specialists, police officers and Army personnel are constantly risking their lives for the country and its people - without ever knowing our names or faces. But if we were asked to name any officer who has risked their life for us, we wouldn't be able to name any. Yes, their characters inspire films, but do we remember the real names of the officers?
