How many officers are recommended to deliver a death notification?

The recommendation to deliver a death notification with two officers is based on the need for professionalism and support during such a sensitive and emotionally charged situation. Having two officers ensures that one can effectively communicate the tragic news while the other can provide emotional support to the bereaved. This approach also allows for a witness to the interaction, which can be important for legal and procedural reasons.

Additionally, the presence of a second officer can help manage the scene, ensuring that the notification is made safely and respectfully. This dual approach helps uphold the dignity of the deceased and the family receiving the notification, affording them the attention and care required in such difficult circumstances.
