The Home Secretary is expected to make a Commons statement today (WED) on the review into the accountability of firearms officers.
It comes two days after police marksman Martyn Blake, 40, was cleared of the murder of Chris Kaba.
Sir Keir Starmer would not be drawn into commenting on the jury decision in the trial but he told reporters his Government would pick up the accountability review launched by the previous Government.
Suella Braverman pledged to assess the ways that firearms officers who take fatal shots are held accountable when she was Home Secretary in 2023.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “We are going to pick that up and complete that accountability review because it is important that the public have confidence in the police, including of course the armed police.”
Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is among the policing leaders to have called the current accountability system “broken” and expressed concerns it might lead to a loss of morale among firearms officers.
The Prime Minister said: “It's also important that the police know that we have confidence in them doing a very difficult job so we will pick that up.

“The Home Secretary will make a statement tomorrow updating the House on where we've got with that review, so further details will be available to you on Wednesday.”
The Metropolitan Police is making fresh representations to the police watchdog about whether the marksman who fatally shot Chris Kaba should face disciplinary proceedings.
It comes after a decision was made in 2023 by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), when it finished its investigation into the shooting, that Martyn Blake should face a gross misconduct hearing.
