Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, has called for increased legal protections for officers following a revolt by armed police in London. The revolt came after one officer was charged with murder, leading many officers to stand down from firearms duties. Soldiers are now on standby to fill in. Sir Mark welcomed a review by Home Secretary Suella Braverman into how police officers are held accountable when force is used. He emphasized the need for a system that commands the confidence of officers and the communities they serve, while also addressing accountability mechanisms.
