  Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (usually just called the Deputy Commissioner) is the second-in-command of the London Metropolitan Police, ranking below the Commissioner and above the Assistant Commissioners.
Deputy Commissioner was formally established as a separate rank, additional to the Assistant Commissioners, in 1931, although the Assistant Commissioner "A" had acted as de facto deputy for some years and had been given the courtesy title of Deputy Commissioner since 1922.
The badge of rank worn on the epaulettes by the Deputy Commissioner is unique in the British police service: a crown, above two small pips placed side by side, above crossed tipstaves in a wreath.

 Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (usually just referred to as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner or, more colloquially, as the Met Commissioner) is the head of the Metropolitan Police Service in London.
The Commissioner is generally regarded as the most senior operational police officer in the United Kingdom (although since each police force is independent this is not technically accurate).
Sir John Nott-Bower was the first career police officer to hold the post (although several previous commissioners had served in senior administrative positions in colonial forces and the Metropolitan Police itself) and Sir Joseph Simpson was the first commissioner to have started his career as a constable (although he was soon appointed to higher rank).

 Commissioner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commissioner may be used for a variety of official positions, especially that of a high-ranking official, or that of a senior police officer.
However, while commissioners used to have a direct day to day role in administration and governing and used to chair the Executive Council of the territory, today they are under instruction to act more like a provincial lieutenant-governor as territorial assemblies have taken on more and more responsibility.
Commissioners are elected by the owners of the league's clubs, and are generally expected to handle such matters as discipline, arbitration of disputes between the clubs, etc.

 Police officers are subject to race bias Act, but the Chief Constable is not vicariously liable
By a 999 call she summoned police assistance but the police officers who came in response, instead of helping her and seeking to detain her attackers, arrested her without cause and charged her with affray, common assault and causing unnecessary suffering to a dog.
By the amended pleadings she alleged that the officers were acting as the commissioner's agents and because of her race had failed to afford her the protection afforded victims of crime who were white and had brought the proceedings against her on racial grounds, so treating her less favourably than they would treat other persons.
Police officers were subject to section 20(g) of the Race Relations Act 1976 so that it was unlawful for them to discriminate in the provision of services, including the provision of protection from crime.

 House of Lords - Brooks (FC) (Respondent) v. Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis (Appellant) and others
It was alleged that the disorder was substantially exacerbated or aggravated by the failure of the Police to treat Mr Brooks lawfully.
His central submission was that the Police owe a duty of care not to cause by positive acts or omissions harm to victims of serious crime, or witnesses to serious crime, with whom they have contact.
The general sense of public duty which motivates police forces is unlikely to be appreciably reinforced by the imposition of such liability so far as concerns their function in the investigation and suppression of crime.

A Commissioner is one of various classes of persons who holds an office by virtue of a commission in the normally from the head of state, particularly of a state in the Commonwealth of Nations.
The reason for this is that members of the Commonwealth do not traditionally consider each other to be "foreign" countries thus it would be inappropriate for their envoys to be called ambassadors or consuls, although the Commissioners' missions are now known as consulates.

 Porter v Metropolitan Police   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
These police officers were present to sort out a problem between members of the public in which there was an inherent risk of trouble, and by their presence, as well as by their efforts at persuasion, were seeking to ensure so far as they could, that the peace was maintained.
At the police station, she was not dealt with for the breach of the peace for which she was arrested, but she was charged with assault on a police officer in the execution of his duty.
This is not surprising since, given that the police officers were lawfully entitled to proceed to eject the appellant and, when she struggled, to arrest her, the officers’ conduct as shown on the video could scarcely have been more restrained.

In particular, the police power of entry to prevent a breach of the peace was not restricted to entering premises where public meetings were held.
That was a case where police officers went to a hall where a public meeting which had been extensively advertised was about to take place; the police sergeant in charge of the party was refused admission to the hall but insisted on entering and remaining there during the meeting.
The judge found that the police officers attended to prevent a breach of the peace and that they were reasonable in coming to the conclusion that there was a danger of such a breach.

The ET was correct to require the respondent to disclose the statements of police officers made in the course of the grievance procedure, despite the fact that these statements may have been made prior to the discrimination complained of.
The police grievance procedures should be distinguished from police disciplinary procedures (which attract public interest immunity) as being a purely internal, stringent process to promote equal opportunitiesand give victims of discrimination redress.

In addition, she also pursued a civil action claiming that the Commissioner of Police had acted negligently in failing to deal with her complaint that she had been sexually assaulted by a male colleague, and had caused or permitted other police officers to harass and victimise her.
The Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and the Court of Appeal dismissed her complaint of sex discrimination on the grounds that the alleged perpetrator was not acting in the course of his employment.
The Lords considered that while the courts have accepted that the police may not be sued for negligence in respect of their activities in the investigation and suppression of crime, that did not apply where there was an employment relationship.
