Police Care UK, formerly the Police Dependants' Trust, is a body which looks after the interest and welfare of the families of British police officers who have died or been incapacitated as a result of injury while on duty.
It was set up in December 1966 from financial donations which flooded in after three CID officers in London were murdered by three men whose car they had stopped for a routine inspection (Shepherd's Bush murders). The initial contributor was holiday camp owner Billy Butlin, who anonymously donated £100,000. Public donations soon swelled the fund to one million pounds. while John Edward 'Jack' Witney was released on licence in 1991 after 25 years and was later murdered in Bristol in 1999.
In 2019, following a merger with the National Police Fund, Police Dependents' Trust became Police Care UK.
