One year on from the death of PC Rosie Prior, North Yorkshire Police have marked the anniversary with a service of remembrance.
Yesterday (Sunday 11th January) marks one year since PC Prior died following a road traffic collision on the A19 at Bagby near Thirsk.
The off-duty PC, who was 45, stopped to help another driver who had pulled onto the verge. Both were struck by a lorry and died at the scene.
She joined North Yorkshire Police as a student officer in May 2022 and was initially posted to Athena House in York.
After a year, she moved to Acomb, where she worked as part of the Band 1 Response team.
Following her death, North Yorkshire Police unveiled a plaque in her memory in the force memorial garden and dedicated its conference facility at police headquarters to her.
To mark the anniversary, Deputy Chief Constable Scott Bisset placed flowers in the memorial garden during a short service.
He said:
“Rosie was the very best of policing, putting the safety of others before her own in order to help people.”
North Yorkshire Police said its thoughts remain with PC Prior’s family, friends and colleagues.
