West Mercia Police Federation

Remembering PC David Hopkins

28 May 2025

West Mercia Police Federation today remembers Force PC David Hopkins.

David, 41, was killed while acting as a motorcycle outrider for a national cycle race when he was involved in a head-on collision as he rode ahead of the cyclists near Malvern on 28 May 1998. 

“Our thoughts today are with David’s family, friends and former colleagues as they make this sad anniversary,” said Steve Butler on behalf of West Mercia Police Federation.

“His service to the Force and the communities we serve should never be forgotten.”
