No disciplinary action will be taken against four Metropolitan police officers for their roles in events leading up to the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, the police watchdog ruled today. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) decision closes the last of the watchdog's reviews into the shooting of the innocent Brazilian electrician in July 2005 at Stockwell underground station in south London. An inquest is expected to take place next year. The Met's deputy assistant commissioner, Cressida Dick, who was in charge of the control room, has been cleared, along with three officers on the ground identified only as Silver, Trojan 84 and Trojan 80. The IPCC ruling means the guilty verdict in the healthy and safety trial at the Old Bailey last month, which saw the Met fined £175,000 for "catastrophic" errors, did not amount to personal misconduct.

The UK Government Audit Office enquiry into the IPCC established a shocking 80% of persons who had complaints against the police handled by the IPCC were dissatisfied with the investigation.
Homophobic attitudes of Cornwall police have contributed to attempted suicides of gay persons in Cornwall (the highest lgbt suicide rate in the southwest of the UK)
