MPA Stockwell scrutiny report - operational note
39/08
18 July 2008
EMBARGOED TILL 00.01 FRIDAY 18 JULY 2008
At the Co-ordination and Policing Committee in December 2007, Members agreed terms of reference for a scrutiny of how the MPS have responded to the learning arising from the tragic death of Mr Jean
Charles de Menezes at Stockwell underground station on 22 July 2005. The decision to undertake the scrutiny followed the publication of two reports into the shooting by the IPCC and a guilty verdict
as a result of the prosecution of the MPS under Health and Safety legislation.
The purpose of the scrutiny report was not to re-examine the events leading up to this tragedy – the MPA is not empowered to do this – but to re-assure ourselves and Londoners that the MPS had responded appropriately to the recommendations made by the IPCC.
The report makes 34 recommendations and will be discussed by Members at the full Authority meeting on Thursday 24 July 2008.
