PC Duffy, who has since returned to work, said: “What happened that night was difficult to accept and I am still in pain as a result of the wound I received.
“It was a challenge at first to get back into service, but I have 100% faith in Reno and it was great to be back there with him.
“We have been together for a long time and I look forward to continuing to serve in the future.”
PC Duffy is one of four nominees for the Pride of Britain This Morning Emergency Services Award.
Cpl Louise Clarke said the team was “really proud” of PC Duffy.
“Chris has shown a tremendous amount of courage — not only on the night in question, but in the weeks and months since he and the Reno police have returned to duty,” she said.
“In doing so, he demonstrated all the qualities and more that society expects from its police officers.”
