It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our much-loved colleague Sean Amey passed away in hospital on Sunday, 24 January, aged 52, having tested positive for Covid-19.

Sean dedicated more than 20 years to Surrey Police as a detention officer at Staines custody, after serving in the navy in the early part of his career.

Sean was a cornerstone of the custody team, a larger than life character who made an impact on everyone he met. With an innate ability to defuse the most stressful situations, Sean’s friendship and big heart will be hugely missed and fondly remembered by so many of us. Sean was also a highly respected and committed Unison representative.

At this sad time, our thoughts are with his wife, Dawn and his sons Callum and Euan.

Many people have requested to donate towards a wreath for Sean's funeral, paying respect to both his Naval and Police service and his tireless dedication towards the protection of the public. This page has been set up to facilitate this. The remaining funds will be given to Sean family to use as they wish.

Sincere regards.
