On behalf of the Police Federation of England and Wales, I extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Constable Trevor Lock.

PC Lock’s extraordinary bravery during the Iranian Embassy siege in 1980 exemplifies the highest standards of policing. Despite being taken hostage, he remained resolute, calming fellow captives and resisting his armed captors. His courage and cunning while under pressure helped save lives and earned him the George Medal.

A dedicated officer with the Metropolitan Police, PC Lock embodied resilience and selflessness throughout his career. Though he shunned the spotlight, his legacy continues to inspire officers across the nation.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones. His service and sacrifice will always be remembered.
