An incredible £3,542 raised in Memory of Sergeant Trev Pearton by Family and Friends for Thin Blue Line UK
21 December 2025
Thin Blue Line UK are incredibly honoured that the family of Trev have made the generous decision to donate all of the money raised in his memory to the charity.
The trustees of Thin Blue Line UK would like to express their deepest and most heartfelt thanks to the family, friends, and colleagues of Sergeant Trev Pearton for raising an incredible £3,542 in his memory and generously donating the amount to the charity.
Trev passed away suddenly in August 2025. He had served as a police officer with Devon and Cornwall Police and is deeply missed by officers and staff across the force. The family initially set a target of £500 but were overwhelmed by the generosity of those who donated, including a local primary school that carried out a number of fundraising activities to help raise funds.
Jack, a Trustee of Thin Blue Line UK explained how touched the charity was from this donation... "We know that the amount raised is a powerful testament to how loved Trev was by all who knew him. We are always touched when people make the decision to raise money for our charity. We are incredibly grateful to Trev's family, friends, and colleagues for raising such an incredible amount, which will enable us to continue supporting police officers in their mental health and wellbeing across the United Kingdom".
We end this article with some beautiful words shared with us by his daughter, Bryony. From all of us here at TBLUK, thank you so much, Bryony, for your kindness and generosity, and that of your family, in nominating and supporting our charity in memory of your wonderful dad. Your donation will make a huge difference to the lives of officers who reach out to us in need of help and support.
“On Thursday the 21st of August in the early hours of the morning, our best Daddy and Trev died very suddenly and unexpectedly at home. He leaves behind a lovely wife, three beautiful children and two lovely son-in laws. He was a lover of his family, a good cheese, coffee and cake, his beloved motorbike and telling a good story or a bad joke.
For 18 years he was an absolutely amazing, devoted and passionate police officer covering a huge patch in South East Cornwall. He tutored many student officers in his later years to be confident, competent young officers and he leaves behind a legacy of humour, hardworking and friendship. He is also the legendary Tragocop in Trago Mills, which he wouldn’t let us forget, being somewhat of a local celebrity! He retired only 2 years ago and continued to tell all the hilarious and sometimes harrowing stories every day. He was so proud to be able to help people every day. We are forever proud to call him Trev/Dad.
He suffered a fair few physical scrapes in his time policing, but also suffered massively with the mental load of his work and some of the things he had seen and dealt with. This is why we know he would appreciate his friends and family donating to Thin Blue Line UK to help support his fellow officers and their families.
Our little Pearton gang wants to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that donated. We are so proud to have raised a massive £3,542 in only a couple of months. This is a testament to what an amazing man Dad is, and we are so grateful for all the thoughtful family members, friends and colleagues who have given to this brilliant charity supporting officers in need. The link to our donation page is still open until February for anyone who may still wish to donate”.
