Protocol for Post-Incident Debriefing
At an early date there should be liaison between the IPCC, the MPS and ACPO (and, more significantly, lawyers acting for each) with a view to establishing a protocol for the future conduct in the event of a shooting by a police officer of an early debriefing as an obligation equal and complementary to any IPCC investigation. The key could be the confidentiality in the public interest of the product, and thus of the input.
