TRIBUTES have been paid to PC James Dixon, of Thames Valley Police, who died on duty in a road accident.<\/p>\n
He has been remembered as a fantastic husband, son, brother, friend and colleague.<\/p>\n
The officer died in a crash on the A4 in Berkshire on 5 December.<\/p>\n
A family statement said: \u201cJames, or Dixie as he was better known by many, was a fantastic husband, son, brother, friend and colleague. Words cannot describe the loss that we all feel right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe not only was a great guy but he was one of the proudest police officers around. We will never be able to fill the hole that he leaves behind, but he will forever be in our hearts and memories for ever and always.\u201d<\/p>\n
TVP Chief Constable Francis Habgood said: \u201cJames was a hugely respected officer, serving with the force for 18 years in a variety of roles including in Local Policing, Roads Policing and Force Intelligence and Specialist Operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn policing we often talk about the strength and importance of the police family and that is never more so as we share in the pain of loss and offer support to one another at this time of need.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have received countless messages of support from other forces and our emergency service partners, demonstrating that our policing and emergency services\u2019 family extends far beyond our own borders.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also extend our thanks to our communities and other agencies for the many messages of condolences we have received.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts remain with PC Dixon\u2019s family and friends, as well as those of the 91-year-old woman, at this very difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
