Dale’s parents Julie and Jimmy spoke about how fun loving and sociable their son was.

Julie said: “Talking about Dale in the past tense just feels wrong. To say I miss him is an understatement. Dale was an extremely kind hearted and lovable son; his family where everything to him always making us smile, laugh and generally being full of joy.

“Dale lived at home with me, and everything in the house reminds me of him. My son was incredibly skilled with his hands, being a brick layer there wasn’t much he couldn’t turn his hand to. He had recently transformed my garden, building a shed, laid the patio and built a wall for me. Only a few weeks ago Dale bought me a puppy because he knew how much I missed having a dog around the house.

“To come to terms with the fact my son is never going to walk through the door with his cheeky smile and tell me all about his day, is breaking my heart.

“I would like to sincerely thank the whole community for their support and the amount of cards and flowers received by well wishers has been enormous.

“From all the family we are eternally grateful to everyone who has offered their shoulders to cry on, an ear to listen and love which we have all received and do appreciate.”
Jimmy added: “Dale was not just my son but my best friend, we did so much together. Snaith and the surrounding area will be a sad place now Dale is no longer here, everyone knew and loved him. Dale liked the good things in life; partying, socialising and working hard. He had so many close friends and was instantly liked by anyone who spoke to him.

“The sorrow and emptiness our family feel is unbearable, we are utterly devastated. I would do anything to bring my boy back.”

Dale was born and lived his short life in Snaith; working locally as a brick layer after successfully gaining an apprenticeship through Goole college.

He had a fantastic personality, in his short 27 years he travelled abroad with his friends, gained qualifications in brick laying, had an array of hobbies including fishing, football and cycling and was a wonderful family man and amazing uncle to his niece and nephew. 

Dale leaves behind his devastated Mum Julie, Dad Jimmy, older brother Adam, older sister Stella, younger sisters Michaela and Gemma, along with his young niece and nephew and extended family.

“The East Riding of Yorkshire is a large rural division covering over 933 square miles, making it one the largest rural divisions in the country. With that geographical size, and a population of 319,000 residents, this naturally presents unique and challenging policing issues. Despite this and our strive to maintain our high standard of service to the public with less money; all the officers, staff and volunteers who work for the police in the East Riding have exceeded in ensuring the service we deliver is top class.
 

“Over the last year, the division has tackled some very serious crime, dismantled organised crime groups, undertook projects to reduce violent crime in a public place and focused on building relationships with communities. Without the publics support and assistance, we would not have achieved this.
 

“Crime can have a devastating effect on a victim, community and a region. Living locally myself, when I was appointed to be the new Divisional Commander for the East Riding I wanted residents to know that I, along with my family and friends also have concerns and a perception of crime. I am pleased to say nationally the East Riding is one of the safest places to live in England, however I will not rest on my laurels and will ensure residents concerns and the fear of crime is of paramount importance to the division. 
 

“Over my 31-years as a police officer, I have seen many Christmases spoilt by burglars and thieves who take advantage of the season of goodwill; often taking Christmas presents, valuables and sentimental items from homes and cars having left them on display. A concerning 35% of all crime is down to an insecurity, which could have been avoided. Please do not become one of these statistics and take simple precautions to safeguard your home and car.
 

“During my policing career I have seen many tragic road traffic collisions over the Christmas period. This year I hope the region will avoid such tragic circumstances by taking extra care when driving on our roads. We have some of the best coastal roads and some rather treacherous A and B carriageways, which are challenging on the best of days, never mind in the dark or wet.
I would like all our drivers young and old to keep away from drink driving, remember alcohol could still be in your system the morning after a night out, it simply isn’t worth it. 
 

“Christmas in particular is a time we spend socialising. Generally everyone is in good spirits and having an enjoyable time. But it only takes one person to have too much to drink to bring a swift halt to the festive fun. I want you to have a great time, but please don’t let alcohol spoil it.
 

“Finally may I take this opportunity to wish every person who lives, works or socialises in the East Riding a very Merry Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year. On a personal note as a season ticket holder for Hull City I hope to see the Tigers back in the Premier League in 2013!
 

A 25-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman, both from Snaith also arrested for murder and perverting the course of justice have been released on police bail pending further enquiries until the end of January 2013.

Does your vehicle have a faulty light? Are the tyres legal and do you have enough water in your washers? These are the type of things Humberside Police will be looking out for as they launch the winter 2013 winter casualty reduction campaign.

Humberside Police is launching the campaign to check the condition of road vehicles with particular emphasis on lighting, tyres, washers, wipers, windscreen and window tints and brake defects.

The aim is to reduce the number of collisions, particularly those involving fatal and serious injury, by making positive changes to the attitude and behaviour of road users through a combination of education and enforcement.

Throughout January there will be an increase in high visibility policing on the roads. The aim is to disrupt, prevent and detect criminal activity, reduce collisions, and reassure the public.

The campaign will include static road checks and random inspections. Drivers will be given a Winter Driving leaflet. Pedal cycles as well as cars and other vehicles will come under scrutiny and advice will be given to cyclists about the importance of high visibility clothing. The advice to cyclists is “Be Safe, Be Seen”.

Adverse weather conditions during the winter months have a direct effect on drivers. Ice, snow, fog, poor visibility and heavy rain can all play their part in some way towards being the cause of collisions.

Traffic Management Inspector Roger Mitchell said: “The message for this year continues to be the same as statistics show that most of the serious crashes, where someone is either killed or is seriously injured, occur when road conditions are slippery due to adverse weather, and because drivers do not adapt their speed appropriately.

“What we do find is that many motorists drive too fast and too close to vehicles in front of them when road conditions are slippery either because of rain, ice or snow. It takes a lot longer to stop when braking in the wet and drivers do not leave themselves a big enough gap to avoid the vehicle in front.

"The figures for 2012 are not yet available but in 2011, there were a total of 474 people who sustained fatal or serious injuries as a result of a road traffic collisions on the road across Humberside. This is the lowest number of people injured ever recorded for Humberside Police.

"This year we are not only stopping vehicles but also those people who use pedal cycles. Cyclists often do not have the correct high visibility clothing on and the lights on their bicycles may not be visible to motorists which can often result in a collision."

HUMBERSIDE POLICE OFFERS THE FOLLOWING WINTER DRIVING ADVICE

Keep your vehicles lights, windows and mirrors clean and free from ice and snow, keep your battery fully charged, add anti-freeze to the radiator and winter additive to the windscreen washer bottles, make sure wipers and lights are in good working order and check that tyres have plenty of tread depth and are maintained at the correct pressure.

Take into account the fact that it can take ten times longer to stop in icy conditions than on a dry road. Drive slowly, allowing extra room to slow down and stop.

In foggy conditions, drive very slowly using dipped headlights. Use fog-lights if visibility is seriously reduced, but remember to switch them off when visibility improves.

Dazzle from winter sun can be dangerous. Keep a pair of sunglasses handy.

Remember in wet weather, stopping distances will be at least double those required for stopping on dry roads.

Divisional Casualty Reduction Officers can be contacted on 101 on the following extensions:-

North and North East Lincolnshire - PC Barry GARDNER Extension 1718.

East Riding - PC Simon CARLISLE Extension 2713.

It is believed that offenders accessed a rear garden of Southback Lane, and smashed a rear window of a property, then moved on to smash the glass in a neighbouring conservatory.

The motive is unknown at this time.

The police officers and Mr Cogan's associate immediately started CPR and spent around the next hour, rotating turns to keep him alive.

The CPR was coordinated by two officers, whilst the remaining six officers took turns to provide CPR and oxygen into Mr Cogan's lungs.

Helicopter assistance was the only option available due to the location Mr Cogan had collapsed, being inaccessible to most vehicles.

Mr Cogan was airlifted via the Sea King helicopter to Hull Royal Infirmary accompanied by the ambulance service paramedic. Whilst on the 7-minute flight CPR was continued by the aircraft crew and a pulse was eventually found as they came to land.

An advanced radio message had been relayed to Hull Royal Infirmary and this ensured that a medical 'crash team' was waiting to receive Mr Cogan at the hospital's helipad. As soon as the Sea king touched down, the crash team took the undertaker into the hospital's emergency treatment room.

Mr Cogan was taken to the High Dependency Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary for several days, before being transferred to Castle Hill Hospital for further care. Inspector Phil North who was an integral part of the life saving mission visited Mr Cogan at his bed side on Saturday 05 January, where he was said to be sat up chatting with his family and had no recollection of any of the events that night.

The Consultant who dealt with David Cogan as he was rushed to Hull Royal Infirmary indicated to Mr Cogan's family that the actions by those involved had been outstanding and it was through those actions he was still alive.

Insp Phil North said: “All the individuals involved in this incident acted with complete professionalism with an absolute desire to do everything possible to keep Mr Cogan alive. I was proud to see all the agencies working together in such difficult circumstances. Seeing Mr Cogan sat in his hospital bed alive and well will be something I and all other officers who helped keep Mr Cogan alive will never forget.

"Paramedic, John Dunwell who had attended the initial scene to certify the death, described the actions of the officers performing CPR as 'absolutely top notch’. What my team and self experienced that night will stay with us for a very long time and am delighted Mr Cogan is making a steady recovery."

Divisional Commander for the East Riding, Chief Superintendent Rich Kerman said: “I am very proud of the police officers and paramedic who attended this incident for their prompt response when Mr COGAN collapsed. All our police officers receive regular first aid training and their actions in this case helped to save a life. I am proud of them all. I also wish to send my best wishes to Mr COGAN and his family and hope he makes a speedy recovery."

Aircraft Captain Lieutenant James Bullock described the scene he saw on arrival at the incident site: "Landing on the access track would have been the most obvious place, but it would have made it considerably more difficult for the team carrying the casualty to the helicopter. We therefore made a crew decision to land close to the area. Due to the soft, muddy ground, I held the air crafts weight on the rotors to ensure that the helicopter didn't get bogged down. This allowed the casualty to be loaded on board swiftly and minimised the time needed to get him to hospital. This rescue incident was a superb example of teamwork, with all the people with the essential, life-saving skills needed to sustain the casualty's life were in place.

“With every second being vital, the casualty was carefully carried on a stretcher, borne by members of Humberside Police, into the waiting Sea King helicopter. Once on board, the ambulance paramedic continued to coordinate the undertaker's medical care and CPR during the short, 7 minute flight to Hull Royal Infirmary. It was during the final few minutes of this flight that the undertaker started to show signs of life by breathing unassisted; however he continued to receive intensive medical care.”

RAF winchman/medic, Sergeant Matt Fowler described the care: "The police recovery team on-scene had some very highly-trained medics and the care the casualty received from them and the ambulance paramedic was the one factor that made all the difference. The ambulance paramedic did a superb job of managing the care and specialist treatment before we arrived and also throughout the short, 7 minute transit flight to Hull Royal Infirmary. This was a textbook operation."

Mr David Cogan is due to have a triple heart bypass next week.
