Cressida Dick criticises ‘politicisation of policing’ in Met farewell letter

Outgoing commissioner, who resigned in February after losing confidence of London mayor, to leave role on Sunday

The outgoing Metropolitan police commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick, has warned against the politicisation of policing" as her tenure at the top of Britain's biggest police force comes to an end.

Dick was forced out as head of the Britain's biggest police force after London's Labour mayor, Sadiq Khan, accused her of failing to deal with a culture of misogyny and racism within the Met.
