Police and campaign groups continue to press for action after PC Andrew Harper, a 28-year-old officer, is killed in August 2019 in Berkshire when he responds to reports of a stolen quad bike. A petition seeking justice and additional measures related to the case has gained significant support, reaching about 760,000 signatures, according to the outlet.
In response to continued public pressure, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says he will “explore every option” to keep those responsible for PC Harper’s death behind bars. The Daily Mail frames the statement as part of the mayor’s engagement with calls for further action as the petition grows.
