The Attorney General has been asked to consider whether jail terms given to the three teenagers who killed PC Andrew Harper are unduly lenient.
Henry Long, 19, the driver of the car that dragged the 28-year-old officer to his death, was jailed for 16 years for manslaughter at the Old Bailey on Friday.
The other two occupants of the car, Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, both 18, were each jailed for 13 years.
A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office said: "The Attorney General's thoughts are with the family and friends of PC Andrew Harper at this difficult time.
"I can confirm that we have received a request for the cases of Henry Long, Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole to be considered under the unduly lenient sentence scheme.
"The Law Officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider the case."
There were tears and gasps from some people in the public gallery on Friday when the teenagers were handed their sentences.
