Martyn Blake investigation - risk of disorder evidence
Joseph Lloyd made this Freedom of Information request to Independent Office for Police Conduct
Dear Independent Office for Police Conduct,
Recently, Sal Naseem, a former regional director for the IOPC in London, claimed that the IOPC had been warned of possible public disorder relating to the investigation into the shooting of Chris Kaba by MPS Sergeant Martyn Blake.
He told the BBC: “It was fed back to us … that if we hadn’t done it [launched a murder investigation] at that time, then it’s likely there would have been a level of disorder. Things were on a knife edge.”
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I wish to see full copies of any evidence of potential disorder received by IPOC relating to the Martyn Blake investigation.
Yours faithfully,
Joseph Lloyd
