Remembering PC Andy Boardman

11 April 2025

Two years have now passed since West Mercia PC Andrew (Andy) Boardman tragically died on duty.

Andy, who was 43, collapsed while attending an incident in Broseley, Shrophire. He died at the scene despite the efforts of paramedics who were already in attendance.

Speaking on behalf of West Mercia Police Federation Steve Butler said: “Today we remember Andy and the service he gave to the communities we serve.

“Our thoughts also remain with his family and friends who continue to adjust to their loss and his colleagues across the Force who were shocked and saddened at his tragic death.”

Andy joined the Force in 2015 after starting his policing career with West Midlands Police in 2007. He had previously served in the Armed Forces for seven years.

During his service with West Mercia Police, he worked in Kidderminster, Stourport and most recently within the safer neighbourhood team for Broseley and Much Wenlock.
