Tributes have been paid to PC Hannah Byrne, a serving officer with Surrey Police, who sadly died whilst on holiday in Corfu, Greece, last week (Sept 1st).
Hannah was 22 and joined Surrey Police in March last year. She was based at Reigate as part of the Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Her family have now released this tribute to Hannah:
“Our beloved Hannah was beautiful inside and out. She was extremely kind, funny, caring and had a real zest for life.
She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.”
Chief Superintendent Chris Colley, Divisional Commander for East Surrey, said: “Hannah’s death has been a shock for everyone who knew her. She was a bright, enthusiastic and respected officer just at the start of her career in policing and she will be sadly missed. As a Force, we are now doing everything we can to support her family and her colleagues at this extremely difficult time.”
An investigation into the circumstances of her death is being led by authorities in Greece.
