The IOPC has made a number of quicktime learning recommendations during our investigation and we will be further formal recommendations shortly.

I’d like to offer on a personal level & on behalf of the IOPC, my sincere condolences to the family of the TVP Officer killed last night in Berkshire. My thoughts, and those of my colleagues, are with the Officers family, friends, colleagues & those affected by the tragic events.

Many thanks Gareth.
