The decision was made by an independently-chaired hearing panel after an application to dismiss the allegations against W80, which claimed he breached standards of professional behaviour in relation to use of force.
W80 shot Mr Baker because he honestly believed that Mr Baker posed a lethal threat and that it was reasonably necessary for him to shoot in order to defend himself.
A public inquiry in 2022 concluded that Mr Baker was lawfully killed
