Cressida Dick who’s a first female in UK’s biggest police force in Scotland Yard

Senior officer Cressida Dick was named the new commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police on Wednesday, the first woman to lead Scotland Yard in its 188-year history.
Dick, a former assistant commissioner of the force, succeeds Bernard Hogan-Howe, who is stepping down next week.
The Met is Britain’s biggest and oldest police force, with more than 43,000 officers and staff.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said 56-year-old Dick “has a clear vision for the future of the Metropolitan Police and an understanding of the diverse range of communities it serves.”
But she has drawn criticism for commanding an operation after the July 2005 London bombings in which an innocent Brazilian man, Jean Charles de Menezes, was shot dead by police after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.
Dick, who left the police force in 2015 to work at the Foreign Office, led the security operation for the 2012 London Olympics and is highly regarded by many Scotland Yard peers.
A jury cleared Dick of blame, but relatives of de Menezes’ had called for her not to be given the top job at Scotland Yard.
“The message of today’s appointment is that police officers can act with impunity,” they said.
In a statement issued by cousin Patricia Armani, the family said they had “serious concerns” about the appointment.
