PC Andrew Harper’s former police force is considering joining potential legal action against the government as his widow backed a petition to block his killers being released from prison early. Aileen O’Connor, the chair of Thames Valley Police Federation, said the decision to potentially release Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers under the government's new early release policy would impact the morale of serving officers in the area. PC Harper was a Thames Valley Police officer when he was killed in August 2019 after responding to a quad bike theft in Sulhamstead, Berkshire. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
