Tributes have been paid to a “hero” police officer who died after trying to save a man from train tracks.
A former colleague described Sergeant Graham Saville as “everything that you would want in a police officer”.
Nottinghamshire Police Federation branch chairman Simon Riley told the Today programme: “He was caring, compassionate, strongly determined, and just generally an all-around good, professional police officer.
“It’s fair to say that it has absolutely devastated the force, from everybody that I’ve spoken to and everybody that’s contacted us, everybody’s deeply saddened by it.
“It is often a cliche that we are a police family and when something like this happens it deeply affects us all, and that extends to beyond Nottingham as well.
“We’ve been contacted by federations and officers up and down the country who’ve reached out to us to offer their condolences.”
