Recommendation MAI-94: Review firearms officer Post Incident Procedures delays
From Manchester Arena Inquiry: Volume 2: Emergency Response, published 3 November 2022.
Recommendation
The College of Policing should assess whether delays in the provision of written accounts by some firearms officers involved in the response to the Attack were due to Post-Incident Procedures. If so, those procedures should be reviewed.
In brief (written by this site)
In February 2026, the Cabinet Office recorded the recommendation as completed on its monitoring dashboard, stating that the armed policing review relating to post-incident procedures was closed with no update required (Cabinet Office, Feb 2026). The UK government had previously accepted the recommendation in full in November 2025, when the dashboard also logged the review as closed (Cabinet Office response, Nov 2025; Cabinet Office, Nov 2025).
