Specials Sergeant Chris Pope from Thames Valley Police Team 3 based at Aylesbury was deliberately run over by a quad bike on Saturday night.

While on patrol dealing with an ASB issue of a motorbike speeding round a park a quad bike was driven at S/SGT Pope. He was thrown into the air and suffered a left broken leg. Shift, RP, Dog and NPAS all responded to his call for assistance and a suspect was detained shortly after.

Due to the nature of the injuries S/SGT Pope had to undergo surgery at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. He will be unable to carry out his day job or of course Police duties for a number of months. Everyone based at Aylesbury want to wish him a speedy recovery.

Donations made are greatly received and are going to be used to assist Chris in his recuperation and will be put towards his Flint House contributions to enable him to access recuperative therapy. Special Constables were only granted access to Flint House services at the beginning of September, and as such Chris has never had the opportunity to contribute and earn entitlement prior to his injury.
