THE Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Force paid a visit to the streets of Hounslow on Friday 10 September.

Hounslow Police said "The Boss" spent the afternoon out on patrol with officers in Hounslow, "to see the work they are doing to keep the local community safe".

Hounslow Police promised to share photos of the event, which they did last Friday (18 September), as well as a video of Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick on a stroll down the High Street.

Cressida Dick is the serving Commissioner of the Met Police Service since 2017.

Earlier this month it was announced by the Home Secretary that Commissioner Cressida Dick's contract will be extended and she will continue to lead the Met until April 2024.

The extension was granted by Her Majesty the Queen and supported by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.

In response to the contract extension, Commissioner Dick said: "I am immensely honoured and humbled to have been asked to extend my time as Commissioner for a further two years. I am proud to continue to serve my city.

"In the last four and a half years Met teams have dealt with some extraordinary challenges, including most recently in the pandemic, and delivered some fantastic results – critically in reducing violent crimes. In addition, we have grown and modernised.

"I look forward to continuing to work with my dedicated, courageous colleagues and the public to create an even more visible, stronger and professional Met. We will strive to prevent and reduce violence and the crimes Londoners care most about, bring more criminals to justice, and protect, support and build the confidence of all our communities."
