Today, a tragic incident occurred at a popular beach in Perth where an off-duty police officer lost her life. The emergency services were alerted to the situation around 10:30am when reports came in about a diver in distress at Trigg Beach. The operator on the radio informed the team that they may see some vessels in the area as they were searching for a missing diver who was approximately 70 meters away from the shore.
As multiple emergency services joined in the search, a woman in her 40s was eventually located and brought to the shore. A bystander who witnessed the rescue shared that they saw the signal from the team when they raised their hands, indicating that the diver was in that particular location. Despite their efforts to perform resuscitation, the woman unfortunately passed away at the scene.
In a statement, the WA Police expressed their condolences and confirmed that the diver was a sworn member of their force who was off duty at the time. They also mentioned that their thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family and colleagues. The police also acknowledged the difficulty of responding to emergencies involving one of their own, and assured that their Health, Welfare, and Safety Division will provide support to those who have been impacted by this tragedy. The family of the deceased has requested privacy during this difficult time.
Throughout the afternoon, people who knew the officer were seen arriving at the beach. One man, who appeared to be visibly distressed, received support from the police chaplain and another officer. Despite the somber atmosphere, it was heartwarming to see the community come together to mourn the loss of the officer.
The police have stated that the death is not being treated as suspicious, and a report will be prepared for the coroner. As the investigation continues, the community is reminded of the bravery and sacrifices made by first responders on a daily basis, and how incidents like these can greatly impact them. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and colleagues of the fallen officer during this difficult time.
