A police officer has died after testing positive for Covid-19 earlier this week. PC Michael Warren, 37, worked in the Met’s Territorial Support Group (TSG).
The father-of-two, who joined the Metropolitan Police Service in 2005, died on Tuesday morning PC Warren performed a number of different policing roles and in his last four years he served as a TSG officer based at North East Area.
Due to being classed as vulnerable during the pandemic, PC Warren had been shielding at home, however his ambition to support his team and frontline colleagues was not deterred.
It comes after calls for police officers to be prioritised for the vaccine. Britain's top police officer was “baffled” frontline colleagues were not a higher priority for vaccines.
