IPCC calls for immediate change in policing tactics: G20 pdf Bishopgate Report
06-08-2009 13:10
Lots of coverage appearing online and on tv news of the latest IPCC report into G20 policing, this one in relation to police tactics in dealing with the Climate Camp on Bishopgate and the specific experiences of one woman mostly at the hands of TSG.The report is available here:
http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/Bishopsgate_Report.pdf and reprinted below for information purposes.
HMIC has made three immediate recommendations:
- No surprises – Protestors and public should be made aware of
likely police action in order to make informed decisions.
- A release plan to allow vulnerable or distressed persons or those
inadvertently caught up in the police containment to exit.
- A review of current public order training.
