North Yorkshire Police officer PC Rosie Prior is honoured in a moving tribute to officers who lost their lives after putting themselves back on duty to help others.

Beyond Duty: The Ultimate Sacrifice is a powerful new film that tells the stories of four courageous officers whose sense of duty extended far beyond their shifts.

They include mother-of-two Rosie, 45, was killed in a road traffic collision having put herself back on duty to help another driver on the A19 at Bagby near Thirsk.

Her husband Chris has contributed to the film, paying tribute to Rosie and her service.

Chris also uses the film to renew his ask for police officers and staff to contribute £1.50 a month to the ‘phenomenal’ Police Children’s Charity.

The film has been released by the Police Arboretum Memorial Trust (UK Police Memorial) and the Police Remembrance Trust.

It also remembers three other officers who made the ultimate sacrifice while off duty:

DC Jim Morrison QGM, 26, Metropolitan Police, witnessed a handbag theft in Covent Garden and pursued the suspect through central London. He was fatally stabbed outside the Indian High Commission. His murder remains unsolved to this day.
PC Francis ‘Frank’ Mason QPM, 27, Hertfordshire Police, intervened in the armed robbery of a Securicor van outside Barclays Bank in Hemel Hempstead. He was shot and later died from his injuries.
PC Ian Dibell GM, 41, Essex Police, intervened in an armed incident near his home in Clacton-on-Sea. Ian was shot and fatally injured while trying to disarm the suspect who had already fired at two members of the public.

While the film tells the stories of four people, it serves as a wider tribute to all police officers who have lost their lives after placing themselves back on duty to protect others.
