Today, we remember PC Tom Clough. 💙 PC Clough was laid to rest today, as his family, friends, colleagues and the wider community came together to say their final goodbyes. Tom tragically lost his life while on duty alongside his colleague PC Matthew Blades. Two officers who went to work to protect others and never made it home. Behind the uniform was a much-loved person — a family member, friend and colleague whose loss will be felt by so many. Today belongs to Tom, to those who loved him, and to his Cleveland Police family. We extend our deepest condolences to everyone mourning his loss. Thank you for your service, PC Tom Clough. Rest in peace, Tom. 💙 Never forgotten.

When an Officer Doesn’t Come Home They left for duty, brave and true, To guard the many, protect the few. A final shift, a last goodbye No one imagined the reason why. The uniform rests, the radio still, A silence falls no words can fill. Behind the badge, a husband and dad, A treasured friend and colleague we had. Though one officer has not come home, His family will never stand alone. His courage lives, his watch is done Forever remembered by everyone. Rest now, Matthew, your duty is through. Your town stands united in honouring you. RIP Matthew Blades 💙
