Police and Independent Body Launch Full Probe
The Central East Command Unit’s professional standards team, working with the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards, carried out a full review. Because the suspect sustained injuries during the incident, a mandatory referral was made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
The IOPC has now taken over with an independent investigation underway.
