The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirms that a Metropolitan Police firearms officer who shot and killed Chris Kaba will not face disciplinary or misconduct proceedings. Multiple outlets report that the decision follows changes to the Government’s regulations on police use of force, which affect how relevant cases are handled. The IOPC’s determination means there will be no conduct or disciplinary case brought against the officer at this stage. Separately, The Independent reports that a coroner will consider whether an inquest should take place into Kaba’s death. The outlets agree that the officer is not subject to the contemplated misconduct/disciplinary process, while noting that legal and procedural steps related to the death itself may still proceed through the coroner’s route. The reports describe this as a conclusion to the disciplinary pathway, with responsibility for any further scrutiny of the circumstances shifting to the coroner depending on whether an inquest is opened.
