Dame Cressida Dick
The first female commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Dame Cressida Dick, has said she is “more determined” to lead her organisation, following criticism of the police’s handling of a vigil for Sarah Everard.
Dame Cressida holds the title of the UK’s most senior police officer, after more than 30 years in uniform.
Originally from Oxford, Dame Cressida was educated at the city’s university, graduating from Balliol College.
She joined the Met in 1983, where she served as a constable, sergeant and inspector in central south-west and south-east London.
In 1995 she transferred to Thames Valley Police as superintendent operations at Oxford, and subsequently spent three years as area commander.
