Peter Baker

Said the following about David Hatherley:

“On 21/07/2016 David received a call from the Control reporting that kids where dangling their legs off a bridge in the Bedhampton area, David attended site to find the children still on site and also a female who admitted to him that she has admitted self harming and wasn't feeling to great, David ensured the children where removed to a position of safety and called for back up from the BTP.

David stayed on site and talked the young lady into a position of safety and stayed with her until the BTP arrived on site.

This incident could have escalated into a larger incident had David not done what he has been trained to do.“
