YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMetropolitan Police Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick is leaving her role after a series of damaging controversies. Dame Cressida said she had been left with "no choice" after London Mayor Sadiq Khan made it clear to her he had no confidence in her leadership. Last week, the police watchdog found "disgraceful" misogyny, discrimination and sex harassment among some Met PCs. Dame Cressida, the first woman to lead the biggest UK police force, also faced criticism over the Sarah Everard case. Her conduct was referenced in an independent report that accused the force of institutional corruption over the unsolved murder of Daniel Morgan, and before she became commissioner she was in charge of the operation that led to the fatal shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes. Speaking on BBC London hours before her departure was announced, she insisted that she had "absolutely no intention" of quitting, and that she was "seething angry" about the police watchdog's findings into the culture at Charing Cross police station. But in his statement, Mr Khan said he was "not satisfied" with Dame Cressida's response and that she "will be stepping aside" as a result. Mr Khan thanked the commissioner for her 40-year policing career. He said he would now "work closely with the home secretary on the appointment of a new commissioner" with an aim to restore trust in the Met.
