Job advert for Met Police boss published — offering a £293,000-a-year salary
A JOB advert for the new Met Police boss has been published — offering a £293,000-a-year salary.
The successful candidate will have to address “serious failings” in the force, it says.
Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick left the job last week. Deputy Sir Stephen House is in charge until the summer.
The appointment is for an initial five-year term. The ad, with a closing date of May 5, says: “It has become evident that significant and sustained improvements need to be made within the MPS to restore public confidence and legitimacy in the largest police force in the UK.
“This will require inspirational leadership to deliver a demonstrably more professional police force, that better reflects the diversity of London itself.”
Potential candidates include former director general of the National Crime Agency Dame Lynne Owens and Met Assistant Commissioner Matt Jukes.
