In brief (written by this site)

The Inquiry recommended establishing a protocol for early debriefings following fatal police shootings. In conclusions from Commander Neil Basu's review in June 2014, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) stated that it had engaged with the recommendation but had been unable to secure agreement or cooperation from the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) (Metropolitan Police Service response, Jun 2014).
