Leader of Black police body calls Cressida Dick ‘defensive and dismissive’

Andy George praises outgoing commissioner, but says it was right that she stood down

Cressida Dick was the most defensive and dismissive" leader of a British police force, with problems worsening under her tenure as Scotland Yard's commissioner, the leader of the National Black Police Association (NBPA) has said.

Dick announced her departure on Thursday after a falling out with London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, who lacked confidence that she could improve an allegedly misogynistic, racist and closed culture blighting Britain's biggest force.
