Statement in response to publication of IPCC investigation into a complaint regarding the G20 policing operation
6 August 2009
“The IPCC report repeats many of the issues already raised as part of the important ongoing debate on public order police tactics which the MPA Civil Liberties Panel has already started. We will progress this work by engaging with the public and human rights organisations. It reinforces the concerns raised by the recent HMIC’s interim report on the G20 policing operation: the need for a review of training and tactics; improved communications with both protest groups and the public to maintain a flow of information to those caught-up in the area and access to amenities; and a plan to release vulnerable and distressed people. All of these issues are currently under consideration by the MPS and the Authority.”
