FED WELCOMES U-TURN OVER EARLY RELEASE FOR KILLERS

North Yorkshire Police Federation has welcomed the Prime Minister’s announcement that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars following changes to the early release scheme.

Branch chair Rob Bowles thanked members and the public who have supported the campaign to block their early release.

The Federation had encouraged people to contact their MPs and sign a petition calling for PC Harper’s killers to serve the sentences handed down by the courts for his manslaughter. The petition received more than one million signatures.

The Prime Minister, Andy Burnham (pictured) has said that anyone convicted of unlawful killing, including manslaughter, would be excluded from the scheme. Previously it would have made two of PC Harper’s killers eligible for early release.

Rob said: “This is really positive news, and I want to thank all of our members who supported the campaign, wrote to their MP and signed the petition.

“PC Harper was a serving officer killed in the line of duty and his killers should not have been considered for early release in the first place.

“The fact that so many people came together and made their voices heard shows the power of a collective voice.

“Police officers, their families and members of the public stood together because they believed PC Harper’s killers should serve the sentences imposed by the courts.

“That strength of feeling could not be ignored and I am grateful to everyone who played their part.”

💐 IN MEMORY

PC Robert Ingram is today remembered by North Yorkshire Police Federation on the anniversary of his death.

Robert died after his patrol car crashed as he attended an emergency call on 27 August 1993. He was 28.

Rob Bowles, North Yorkshire Police Federation chair, said: “We hold Robert in our thoughts today and pay tribute to his service and his sacrifice.

“We also hold in our thoughts his family and friends and his colleagues.

“It is important we show the loved ones of our fallen colleagues that we stand with them and that they will never be forgotten.”

BRANCH SUPPORT FUNDRAISER FOR FAMILIES OF FALLEN OFFICERS

North Yorkshire Police Federation is encouraging members to consider supporting a funding appeal to help the families of two Cleveland Police officers killed in the line of duty.

More than £350,000 has been raised for the families of PC Matt Blades (pictured left) and PC Tom Clough through a GoFundMe page launched by Cleveland Police Federation on Sunday.

PC Clough, 38, and PC Blades, 37, died when a Volkswagen Passat collided with their marked armed response car on the A66 near Middlesbrough. Five other people also died in the collision.

Officers from North Yorkshire Police attended the scene to support colleagues and help respond to the devastating incident.

North Yorkshire Police Federation chair Rob Bowles said: “There are no words that can adequately express the shock and sadness felt across policing at the loss of PC Clough and PC Blades.

“The officers went to work to serve the public, and tragically they did not return home to their families.

“Our thoughts are firmly with their loved ones, friends and colleagues at this devastating time.

“The policing family comes together when something as heartbreaking as this happens, and the support from the public for the fundraising request has been incredible.

“I would encourage our members to consider supporting the fundraiser if they are able to."

Lauren Somerville, Cleveland Police Federation chair, said: “We are simply staggered by the public’s reaction to this fundraising request, and would like to thank each and every person who has kindly donated. It means so much.

"We are a small force, and the death of our colleagues has been felt deeply. We are completely numb."

Our thoughts are with those affected by the Cleveland collision

North Yorkshire Police Federation has expressed its support for everyone affected by the tragic collision in Cleveland this morning, which claimed the lives of seven people, including two police officers.

The crash took place on the A66 in South Bank, near Middlesbrough, at around 3.39am.

Officers from North Yorkshire Police attended the scene to support colleagues and help respond to the devastating incident.

Branch secretary Tony Barnes said: “Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of everyone who has lost their life in this terrible collision, and with all those who have been affected.

“To hear that two police officers are among those who have died is particularly heartbreaking. They went to work this morning to serve and protect their communities, and tragically they will not be going home to their families.

“We also want to recognise all those who attended the scene, including those from North Yorkshire Police. No doubt, they, alongside other emergency services colleagues from across the region, have been dealing with an incredibly difficult and distressing situation with professionalism and compassion.

“Policing is a family, and when something as devastating as this happens, that family comes together. Our colleagues in Cleveland know that they have our full support, and we will stand alongside them in the difficult days ahead.”

North Yorkshire Police Federation also paid tribute to everyone involved in the emergency response and offered continued support to those affected.

Tony ended: “If you have been affected by this incident, please speak to your local Federation representative. No one should feel they have to deal with the impact of an incident like this alone.”

✍ WRITE TO YOUR MP TO HELP CAMPAIGN MOMENTUM

North Yorkshire Police Federation is urging people to ask their local MP to support the nationwide campaign to block the early release of two men convicted of killing PC Andrew Harper.

PC Harper was killed in August 2019 after being dragged behind a car while attempting to stop a group stealing a quad bike in Berkshire.

Two of the men that were in the car were each convicted of manslaughter and given 13 years in prison.

However, the pair could be set for an early release under Government plans to ease pressure on the prison system.

The campaign has already generated enormous public support. A petition calling for them to remain in prison has passed one million signatures.

North Yorkshire Police Federation secretary Tony Barnes said: “We have seen the strength of feeling across the country.

“More than a million people have already signed the petition, which should send an unmistakable message to Parliament.

“We want to follow that up by urging our MPs to support the campaign when they return to Parliament on 1 September.

“Politicians need to understand just how strongly people feel about this issue and how important it is to police officers and their families."

🚲 TOUR DE AKY CYCLISTS GO THE EXTRA MILE IN MEMORY OF PC

The organiser of the annual Tour de Aky has thanked volunteers, supporters and the cyclists taking part for making it a huge success.

The charity cycle ride was the final event in this year’s fundraising in memory of North Yorkshire Police dog handler, PC Mick ‘Aky’ Atkinson.

PC Pierre Olesqui launched the Tour de Aky in 2018 following Aky’s death by su***de to inspire officers and staff to get out in the open air and talk about their feelings and issues.

Around 45 riders completed the route and Pierre said that keeping that many cyclists safe on public roads required a big team effort.

A team of volunteers gave up their own time vehicles to provide refreshments and supplies, while updates were coordinated via a group chat to ensure anyone needing assistance received it quickly.

Among those volunteering was PC Ashley Aitkins, owner of Crank Works, who took annual leave to provide mechanical support throughout the day.

🚴‍♀️ FED REP PAYS TRIBUTE TO 'BEAUTIFUL' SERVICE

Participants from North Yorkshire saw their 2026 Police Unity Tour (PUT) efforts rounded off in poignant fashion over the weekend with the Care of Police Survivors (COPS) Service of Remembrance honouring officers who have died in the line of duty.

Taking place at the National Arboretum in Staffordshire, the annual service traditionally goes hand-in-hand with the final stages of the PUT – a three-day bike ride cycled in memory of fallen officers and in support of their bereaved families by fundraising for COPS.

This enables riders from across the country to travel into their end destination of the arboretum in a show of togetherness before the service is observed.

As in previous years, those taking part from North Yorkshire Police joined up with the event’s North East Chapter of the UK Police Unity Tour including Federation representative Josh Snaith.

Speaking at the arboretum, he said: “The last few days have been tiring but very enjoyable.

“It’s been fantastic to see all the cyclists working hard, supporting each other and coming together as a team – a bunch of people, some of whom didn’t know each other at the start, are now really good friends.

“The PUT is always so important for policing. It’s our chance to do something for the colleagues no longer with us, and to be involved in it is a privilege.

“I think over the last few years, it’s become more and more well known, and that’s been apparent when we’ve stopped at various stations on the way down [to Staffordshire], where people have come out to support us and say thank-you for what we’ve been doing.”
