‘The entire Northamptonshire Police family wish to pass on our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this truly awful point in time.
‘Colleagues from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit are still investigating the collision, and specialist family liaison officers will continue to support Faizaan’s family in the coming days and weeks.
‘We are also carrying out an internal health and safety investigation.’
PC Najeeb joined Northamptonshire Police in May 2022 to serve on the response team.
His former colleagues from Bedfordshire Police said: ‘Those that knew him are absolutely devastated by his death, and he will be sorely missed.
‘His ability to lift spirits was infectious, and he was always so happy. Faizaan would do anything for anyone, and although he was only with us for a short time, his legacy and impact on those that worked with him remains.
‘His memory lives on and will not be forgotten. The joy he brought to people that he met can never be replicated, and those on the Community Policing Team, as well as those in other departments will miss him.
‘It is with great sadness that PCSO 7001 and PC 1967 has signed off from duty. His memory will live on.’
They added: ‘Thank you, Faizaan, for all the joy and the legacy you brought us.’
