Misconduct Case Against Firearms Officer W80 Dismissed
A misconduct hearing for firearms officer W80, related to the fatal police shooting of Jermaine Baker in 2015, has found no case to answer.
The decision was made by an independently-chaired hearing panel after an application to dismiss allegations against W80, which claimed he breached standards of professional behavior regarding use of force.
W80 shot Mr Baker because he honestly believed that Mr Baker posed a lethal threat and that it was reasonably necessary for him to shoot in order to defend himself. Mr Baker was lawfully killed.
This conclusion was supported by a public inquiry in 2022.
Author's summary: Misconduct case against W80 dismissed due to no evidence.
