Statement from the Metropolitan Police Federation after the IOPC paused conduct proceedings against firearms officer Sgt Martyn Blake.
Matt Cane, General Secretary of the Metropolitan Police Federation, said: "This is very much the right decision that will not only be welcomed by Sgt Blake and his family - but also all police officers across London.
"Police officers should not face losing their liberty or livelihoods for doing the job that society expects of them and it has been pleasing to see Government acknowledgement of this.
"We look forward to Sgt Blake - already fully exonerated for his actions in court by a jury of peers - swiftly having no further case to answer."
