POLICE and crime commissioner Alison Hernandez says she backs the investigation into alleged breaches of health and safety laws by Devon and Cornwall Police in the lead-up to mass shootings in Plymouth in August last year.

But she said she had declined to refer the force to the Health and Safety Executive, as requested by the Independent Office of Police Conduct because the relevant evidence had not been disclosed to her.

A pre-inquest hearing earlier this week heard that an investigation had been launched in relation to the running of Devon and Cornwall Police's Firearms Licensing Unit before the mass shooting in Keyham.

Five innocent people lost their lives in the shootings when Jake Davison, 22, killed his mother Maxine, 51, after a row and then shot dead four others in a 12-minute attack.

Davison's shotgun license had been taken from him after a row with two youths but was returned to him shortly before the shootings.
