London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s successor, London Mayor Sadiq Burnham, says he will review the prison early release scheme after concerns raised by the family of PC Andrew (or Pc) Harper, who died in 2019. Multiple outlets report that Harper died while responding to a report of a quad bike theft in 2019. The mayor’s comments indicate the review may consider whether aspects of the early release policy contribute to safety concerns and whether the scheme should be amended in light of the circumstances surrounding Harper’s death. Coverage also says Burnham believes the Harper case could extend beyond a single case and lead to a wider look at how early release decisions are made and communicated. Sources are consistent in describing the 2019 incident involving a quad bike theft call and the family’s role in prompting the review. While the articles do not agree on the precise scope or timing of any policy changes, they converge on Burnham’s intention to examine the early release framework following the family’s concerns.
