In light of the Not Guilty verdict for firearms officer Martyn Blake, join us for

the final episode of this series as we discuss the fallout of this landmark

case. This includes today's announcement from the Home Secretary that there will

now be a presumption of anonymity for all firearms officers facing trial over

shooting in the course of duty up to the point of conviction.

 

Mark Williams, Chief Executive of the Police Firearms Officers Association talks to

Caroline and George about how important this will be for protecting officers who discharge guns in the course of duty in the future and the impact of the trial on Martyn Blake, other firearms officers and their families.
