A police officer who was critically injured after being hit by a car which failed to stop has been named.
PC Christopher Miller, 38, was taken to hospital after the incident on the B416 in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, on Thursday night.
Two men aged 28 and 38, both from Slough, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
A 43-year-old man was detained on suspicion of assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice, and on Sunday, a 37-year-old woman from Slough was arrested for these same two offences.
Thames Valley Police said the incident happened at about 22:20 BST when a white BMW hit the officer and failed to stop.
The force described his injuries as "life-threatening" and said his family and close colleagues were being supported by specially-trained officers.
Deputy Chief Constable Ben Snuggs said: "Police officers face danger every day.
"In this incident, PC Christopher Miller was simply doing his job, serving the public and keeping our communities safe."
Senior investigating officer Det Supt Will Crowther appealed for anyone with information to come forward and said: "I believe the BMW will have had front-end damage after the incident, and so if you saw the vehicle, either before the incident or afterwards, please contact us."

Action on properties at centre of crime issues
Closure orders have been secured for two Cornish properties at the centre of alleged drug crimes and anti-social behaviour. Devon and Cornwall Police said the orders for the buildings on Berries Avenue in Bude had been granted after officers received reports of suspected drug dealing, drug-related violence and anti-social behaviour. The force said reports included people visiting the properties at all hours of the day including some who had taken drugs, which led to further disturbances. The orders make it an offence for anyone to enter either address for three months.

Woman teacher banned for pupil sex and drugs texts
A woman has been banned from teaching after a panel found she sent messages about her sexual encounters to a pupil and encouraged him to smoke cannabis with her. Charlotte Doman, then 32, was teaching history at William Edwards secondary school in Grays, Essex, when her inappropriate contact began. A Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) panel was told she sent messages to the pupil where she called him "little duck" and said to him she loved him, but she denied what she said was romantic. Marc Cavey, TRA chief executive, decided she should be banned from teaching indefinitely, subject to a five-year review period. The TRA heard Ms Doman sent dozens of messages to the child, who the panel referred to as Pupil A, between April and May 2023. In one she said: "You're not even legal or an adult or anything. Like, am I taking advantage of you? Some days it feels like you're taking advantage of me lol." In messages seen by the panel, she told him: "YOU have all the control in this relationship." She also told Pupil A details about her sexual relationships, the panel found, saying in an Instagram message: "One night I ended up with three different guys." She was said to have made comments about the pupil's appearance and messaged him, saying: "I literally go get waxed every eight weeks for no-one to appreciate it." The panel also heard Ms Doman encouraged Pupil A and his friends to "pull sickies" on a day she was off school, and at least once invited Pupil A to spend time alone with her. The now 34-year-old did not attend her misconduct hearing, but in written statements said the "little duck" nickname was "not romantic". She said she was letting the pupil "know that someone cared about his existence" in telling him she loved him. Ms Doman admitted she also encouraged Pupil A to drink alcohol and smoke cannabis with her, and said: "I am unsure why any of this occurred. "I certainly don't behave like this myself. I drink alcohol less than once a month and never to excess, and I've never taken drugs." The teacher also admitted she had sent Pupil A messages outside of school hours and acknowledged she told him to "remove all trace" of her from his phone. Ms Doman denied her conduct was sexually motivated and said she saw Pupil A as "like her child", but the panel ruled on the contrary. It said Ms Doman's behaviour had a "seriously damaging" impact on Pupil A, his parents, the school and its wider community, and her conduct "had the potential to influence Pupil A in a harmful way". Ms Doman was facing "difficulties" in her personal life at the time, the hearing was told, but the panel ruled that she "did not show sufficient insight in respect of the impact her conduct had on others".
