The decision of a rookie PC that would devastate the life of a 15-year-old boy... and so many others
When rookie police officer Sarah De Meulemeester stepped on the accelerator of her Peugeot 308 patrol car to answer a 999 call, it set off a train of events that would devastate the lives of so many people.
He was hit by the Peugoeot, which had been travelling at speeds up to 61mph despite the speed limit of 30mph on Garners Lane and other roads on the way from the station at Cheadle Heath to Adswood. The standard of her driving, and those of other officers in a three-car convoy responding to the 'grade 1' call, would be the focus of an investigation conducted by the Independent Office for Police Conduct .
At the outset, doctors told his family he would not be able to walk again let alone play another game of football. "It’s been an emotional morning looking at all the kids from Adswood, Bridgehall and Ambrose School dressed in green for Khia," Laura wrote on social media. Now she is facing a possible jail sentence and even if she is spared she may well be sacked by GMP, which will hold gross misconduct hearings against her and another officer who responded to the 999 call that night.
Another relative said of her: "She's a rather closed person and does not share her feelings easily with anybody but if she trusts you she opens up completely. She's always kind and values loyalty above everything else." She began a 20-week initial training course in July 2019 before being posted to the Stockport division under the care of a police tutor. After a further 10 weeks, she was regarded as 'independent' and could be dispatched to jobs on her own, the defendant told the court.The officer said since she passed her driving test in 2019 she had received no penalty points or speeding tickets and had not been involved in any accidents.
