The Thames Valley Police force is in mourning today after the sudden and tragic death of Detective Constable Jessica 'Jess' Putt, a 33-year-old mother-of-three who passed away following a short illness.
A Life of Service Cut Short
DC Putt, described by colleagues as a 'truly wonderful person and dedicated officer', served with Thames Valley Police for eight years. Her unexpected death has sent shockwaves through the police community and left her family devastated.
'We are all heartbroken by Jess's sudden passing,' said a statement from Thames Valley Police. 'She was an exceptional officer who served her community with distinction and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.'
Leaving Behind Three Young Children
The tragedy is compounded by the fact that DC Putt leaves behind three young children who now face growing up without their mother. A fundraising campaign has been launched to support her family during this unimaginably difficult time.
'Jess was not only a brilliant police officer but a devoted mother to her three beautiful children,' a close friend shared. 'Her family was everything to her, and this loss is utterly devastating.'
Community Support Floods In
Since news of her passing emerged, tributes have poured in from colleagues, friends, and members of the community she served. Many have described her as kind-hearted, professional, and completely dedicated to both her family and her policing career.
The fundraising page organized to support her children has seen an outpouring of generosity, reflecting the high regard in which DC Putt was held by all who knew her.
Thames Valley Police have confirmed they are providing support to DC Putt's colleagues and family during this difficult period as the police community comes together to mourn one of their own.
