  Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until the 1970s, the Commissioners were justices of the peace and not sworn constables.
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).

The Commissioner commended the Bahamian public for their patience and understanding during the month-long investigation.This allegation, like every other serious allegation, placed the onerous task on the police of conducting an objective, transparent and a thorough investigation into the matter reported, he said.
The Commissioner said the police did not interview Minister Roberts immediately because they were conducting other aspects of the investigation.It is only at certain stages of the investigation will you pick or invite or arrest a suspect in order to put the questions of that inquiry to that suspect, he said.

 Police ethics
Under the old system, complaints against the police were brought before a commissioner, who offered the plaintiff the option of going to conciliation or to investigation.
Police officers brought to the conciliation table, for instance, will not be required to actually say they're sorry for what they've done; instead, they're only required to "recognize" the fact that they might have done something wrong.
A police officer must act in such a manner as to preserve the confidence and consideration that his duties require.
