Trainee police officer felt pressure of ‘on-the-job’ training before taking own life, inquest finds
An inquest into a trainee police officer who took his own life has heard that he had been struggling with the pressures of ‘on-the-job’ training at West Yorkshire Police, while taking a university course for the role at the same time.
The coroner said there was no evidence that any steps could have been taken which would have prevented 21-year-old Anugrah Abraham’s death.
But she also promised a report to the National Police Chiefs Council about addressing mental health in policing.
