Andrew spent his almost four years service with GMP on the Rochdale division, working as a response officer.
– Assistant Chief Constable Steve Heywood, Greater Manchester PoliceOfficers and staff here at Greater Manchester are distraught to hear the news of Andrew’s tragic death on Saturday night.
Andrew was a well-liked and respected officer during his time at GMP and we would like to offer our most sincere condolences to Andrew’s family, friends and colleagues at both Forces, who are now understandably struggling to come to terms with his loss.”
Last night we received the worst news any police officer could wish to receive – that a close colleague and friend, PC Bramma, had been taken from us in tragic circumstances, whilst doing the job he loved of helping people in their hour of need.
Andrew was a great police officer and a loving family man. For anyone who knew him, Andrew was meticulous in everything he did, nothing would ever beat him and he would leave no stone unturned to find his answers. Every job he dealt with was always done to A* standard.
– Andrew’s friends and former colleagues from B relief at GMP’s Rochdale divisionAndrew leaves us all with many lasting memories - from being such a great friend, to the large amount of hand gel and protective blue gloves he used to go through at work that we teased him about daily, to being a very proud and true Yorkshire man.
We were all proud to know and work alongside Andrew and hope to lead by the high example he set for us to follow.
Our thoughts are with his wife, two lovely sons and other family and friends at this time.”
