Tributes have been paid after a 43-year-old police officer collapsed and died while on duty. PC Andy Boardman, of West Mercia Police, had been responding to an incident in Broseley, Shropshire, when he was taken ill on Tuesday.
Despite the efforts of paramedics who were with him at the time responding to the same call, he could sadly not be saved. Heartbroken colleagues have now paid tribute to the popular dad-of-two, who was also a former member of the Armed Forces.
Chief Constable Pippa Mills said: “This is a terrible shock for everyone that knew Andy and my thoughts, and the thoughts of all of us at West Mercia Police, are with his wife, Luci, their two daughters and all his family, friends and colleagues. Andy was a familiar and friendly face across the communities he served and well-liked by his colleagues across the whole force.
