ONLY COMMISSIONER CAN DECIDE IF HE SHOULD RESIGN

November 1, 2007 3:00 PM

Commenting on the guilty verdict delivered in the Health and Safety trial of the Metropolitan Police Service, Liberal Democrat Policing spokesperson on the London Assembly, Dee Doocey, said:

"The shooting of an innocent man was a tragedy. The process since that event has been a disgrace. It is completely unacceptable that the family, like the rest of us, should only learn what actually happened when the prosecution presented its case at the trial.

The IPCC must publish its report in full without any further delay, so that we can all understand the full context of what happened, not just the selective reports which we have had so far.

The MPS and MPA must learn from their mistakes, consider the IPCC recommendations, implement any that have not already been carried out, and move on.

As for the Commissioner of Police, the decision as to whether or not he should resign should rest with him."
