The Police Federation expresses serious concern and disappointment after a judge rules that a Metropolitan Police firearms officer charged with murder will be publicly named.
The Police Federation has said it is 'seriously concerned and bitterly disappointed' after a judge ruled a Metropolitan Police firearms officer charged with murder will be publicly named. The officer, who had previously been known only as NX121, is facing trial at the Old Bailey over the shooting of 24-year-old Chris Kaba in Streatham Hill, south London, on 6 September 2022. In a ruling at the Old Bailey, judge Mark Lucraft said the police officer will be named publicly on 30 January.
'Recruitment for armed response was probably bad enough, but now even if a potential officer was keen to joined the armed response, their families are going to say 'not on your nelly, you do not do that'. 'For the same money police officers can do frontline policing, which is just as difficult but doesn't hold the risks.
