No disciplinary action for Met Police officer who shot Chris Kaba

Chris Kaba Police

The police officer, Martyn Blake (NX121), who shot Chris Kaba will not face any disciplinary proceedings.
This decision follows changes to government regulations regarding police use of force, which raised the test for misconduct proceedings to the level used in criminal law.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) confirmed the withdrawal of disciplinary proceedings after considering their policy and representations from both the Kaba family and Sergeant Blake.
Sergeant Blake was previously acquitted of murder at the Old Bailey after shooting Mr Kaba in Streatham, south-east London, in 2022.
A coroner will now determine whether an inquest will be held into Chris Kaba's death.
