Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The latest case that has been mentioned a couple of times is that of the shooting of Chris Kaba. The officer involved was under investigation for around three years before a Crown Court jury took just three hours to find him not guilty. He is now facing a gross misconduct charge on the same facts. The facts were thrown out in a criminal case, yet the IOPC’s own statement said that it was basing a new charge of misconduct on the facts that had been dismissed in the criminal court. If it is lucky, that might take another two years.
