A Fife officer is braving the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle to raise money for a cancer charity who supported him through bereavement.

Sgt Donald Sutherland is aiming to raise £4,000 for Maggie's Centre at Victoria Hospital.

Maggie's Centre are a charitable organisation, with premises built alongside NHS hospitals, whose staff provide emotional, practical and social support for people with cancer and their loved ones.

The 58-year-old, who lives in Kirkcaldy, has served the communities of Fife for over 25 years and currently works in response policing, covering Cowdenbeath and South West Fife.

Don lost his 54-year-old sister Fiona to pancreatic cancer in March 2011. His wife Valerie, aged 48, tragically died just ten months later in January 2012 of cervical cancer.

Don said: "To say I was devastated would be an understatement. I was lost. In 2014, I discovered Maggie's Centre. I wandered in one day with no understanding of what or who they were.

"But the staff listened patiently to my tale of woe and, over time, helped me to come to terms with what happened and why I felt the way I did.

"With greater understanding came the strength to move forward with my life in a positive and constructive way. I will always be grateful to Maggie's for their support when I needed it most."

Between 8th and 13th February 2019, Don will be part of a small team of people taking part in a three day trek into the Arctic Circle in temperatures as low as minus 25 degrees.

Don continued: "Each centre costs, on average, £2,400 a day to run and the charity relies solely on public donations. Without the selflessness and generosity of Fifers, Maggie's couldn't provide these vital services.

"As a person who has benefitted from their kindness and expertise, it's my privilege to try and contribute in some way, so that they can continue to help other people like me."

Scottish Police Federation shared EuroCOP's post.

1 day ago

Thoughts with our Spanish colleagues and the family and friends of the officer.Death of Guardia Civil colleague - EuroCop statement from our President Angels Bosch.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the family, friends and colleagues of the Guardia Civil officer who was so tragically shot and killed in Huetor Vega, Granada.

He was simply carrying out his duties, protecting and serving the public like so many other officers across Europe do every day.

It is possible that the life of our colleague killed yesterday could have been saved if he had been wearing an individual, bespoke protective bullet proof vest.

We are urging Governments to protect those who protect the public and we demand that every police officer in Europe is given the individual protective equipment they need to do their job effectively and safely.

Our petition to give officers these rights needs to be heard by the European Parliament.

In Spain, Guardia Civil Associations - they are not allowed to be members of a union - have been asking for individual protective vests to be issued to officers for many years.

Normally officers have protective vests in patrol cars to be used in case they are needed, but they are not individual or bespoke to each officer so are not part of their own protective equipment.

The vests have to be used for men and women of different sizes and they are so heavy that they cannot be used for an entire shift.

Only when the dangers of the incident are known beforehand can the vests be proactively worn - these kinds of vests can’t be used for routine work, such as controls or patrolling.

That’s why EuroCOP is demanding that all police officers in Europe have the individual protective equipment they need.

Construction workers by law must wear a hard hat, (and the law obliges the company to provide them to workers and to check they are wearing it) so it should be the same when we talk about the men and women who every day put their lives at risk to protect the public.

Some police forces have adopted this commitment and have saved the lives of their officers by issuing them with individual bullet proof vests.

Governments across Europe must do everything they can to offer officers the protection they deserve in the face of rising violent crimes and attacks on officers such as the one that so tragically took the life of our colleague in Granada yesterday.

They must act to protect the protectors. ... See MoreSee Less

Tasers ‘more humane’ than batons, SPF chief says
