Don Speakman

Retired police officer Don Speakman lost his son PC Jonathan Speakman after he drowned rescuing a child swept out to sea. 

Here Don, who was also a Trustee of COPS, talks about how the charity has helped him to rebuild his life though his network of survivor friends.

It is with deep sadness that we report that Don died from COVID-19 on Thursday 14 January 2021.

It’s amazing how many people will stand by you when you’re having a bad day.
