Talk:List of British police officers killed in the line of duty

Correction
Re this entry - John William Fordham DC 45 Metropolitan Police 26 January 1985 Stabbed during the Brink's-Mat robbery.

Not "during" - he was actually engaged in a later undercover operation against suspects in that robbery, and was stabbed by one of them (the notorious Kenneth Noye) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brink%27s-Mat_robbery#Arrests

Inappropriate entry
"Collapsed and died while travelling to duty," surely does not qualify as "killed in the line of duty"?

See also "Killed in a road traffic collision whilst travelling to report for duty at Bournemouth, in the early morning, when his vehicle left the road and crashed into the wall of a bungalow at Highcliffe." AnsIdgag (talk) 14:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
