Cop faces misconduct charge af
A police marksman will face misconduct charges after a civilian was shot during a firearms awareness training session.
The 999 operator was shot in the torso on May 30, 2007, on police property in Kidlington, Oxfordshire.
Following an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation into the incident, it announced this morning (Wednesday) that Thames Valley Police will pursue a misconduct hearing against the officer, who is from Milton Keynes.
The police gun instructor, who has not been named, had been showing a revolver to 11 civilian staff before it went off.
The injured man, who is in his 50s, was rushed to the JRII Hospital in a serious condition but survived the life-threatening injury.
Following the incident Thames Valley Police immediately referred the matter to the IPCC which launched an investigation.
The findings of the investigation were passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider in October 2007 and in January 2008 the CPS decided that the Thames Valley Police Officer would not face criminal charges.
A statement from the IPCC said the gun was not standard police issue and was being used to demonstrate the variety and range of weapons that can be recovered by the public.
The investigation examined how live ammunition came to be present in a firearm during an awareness session.
The file was then passed to Thames Valley Police who have now taken the decision to hold a misconduct hearing, on a date to be fixed.
The Health and Safety Executive is continuing its separate investigation into possible contraventions of health and safety at work legislation.
