Met police chief Cressida Dick to step down
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-60340525
Quote:
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick is leaving her role, it has been announced.
It comes just hours after Dame Cressida insisted she had "absolutely no intention" of stepping down.
Dame Cressida, who has been in the role for four years, has faced multiple controversies during her career.
Last week, the police watchdog reported "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination and sexual harassment among some Met PCs.
In a statement, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he was "not satisfied" with Dame Cressida's response to the report, and that she "will be stepping aside" as a result.

Kind of surprised she survived this long. It was scandal after scandal. The report last week didn't tell us anything new but I guess pressure had to give.
I don't know what they do now though. The problems seem so ingrained at the Met and the cuts to police haven't helped the actual policing either. The new commissioner is going to have to fight a war on two fronts to reform the institution whilst improving its actual performance.

Re: Met police chief Cressida Dick to step down
Bit of a career ending job for whomever takes it on.
Getting crap from ethnic groups about them being targeted.
Getting crap from your superiors because you're getting crap from ethnic groups about them being targeted, which is leading to . .
Crap from the media because both the ethnic groups and your superiors think you're failing in the job.
Crap from those serving under you because you try to keep everyone happy instead of banging the lot in jail

Yes but you get £270k a year for it. Stick it out for a couple of years then retire...

Banging away many of those serving under you would be a start

It will be interesting to see who replaces her.

Re: Met police chief Cressida Dick to step down
She should never have had the job with that enormous cock up over the shooting of the Brazilian lad on the tube staining her record. Somehow I’m not surprised she’s quitting under a cloud. What I am surprised at is that she climbed so high up the ranks to begin with.

It will have to be someone very good and who can command respect. Racism, sexism, misogyny...'and the like' is so ingrained in the Met police, it will be no mean feat to rid the force of that.
The problem goes way back in history and it was even worse then.

It's a poisoned chalice for whichever poor schmuck gets it.
