Commenting on the announcement today that Sir Paul Stephenson
has been appointed Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police,
Kit Malthouse, Vice Chair of the MPA said:
“In Sir Paul Stephenson we have a new Commissioner with an
impressive record of tackling crime, successfully leading a
large police force and working to improve the relationship
between the police and the public.
“I have no doubt that with Sir Paul at the helm of the
country’s biggest police force, we will take back the
streets, make the capital safer for our kids and improve
the everyday quality of life across London. I am pleased
that we have a Commissioner who the Mayor, Home Secretary,
Prime Minister and the Metropolitan Police Authority can
stand foursquare behind.
“On behalf of all the Members of the Metropolitan Police
Authority I congratulate Sir Paul on his thoroughly
deserved appointment as Commissioner of the Metropolitan
Police. We are delighted that HM The Queen and the Home
Secretary endorsed our recommendation and the
representations from Boris Johnson in his capacity as Mayor
of London.
“The calibre of all the applicants was outstanding.”
Notes to editors Sir Paul Stephenson: biographical details
Sir Paul was awarded the Queen's Policing Medal for
services to policing in May 2000 and received a knighthood in
the Queen's Birthday Honours list last June. He joined
the Lancashire Constabulary in 1975 and worked his way up the
ranks to Divisional Commander (Supt) in 1994, when he moved
to Merseyside Police as Assistant Chief Constable.
Here he targeted organised crime related gun violence, street
disorder and police corruption. He also commanded the Grand
National which was then subject to repeated terrorist
threats.
He remained in post until September 1999, when he returned to
Lancashire police as Deputy Chief Constable. Here he
implemented the ‘problem orientated policing’ model, led the
service’s response to the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry Report and
ensured Lancashire police service was identified as one of
the three national pilot sites for the National Intelligence
Model, the code of practice that underpins the UK
intelligence led policing model.
Sir Paul progressed to Chief Constable of Lancashire police
service in July 2002, when he embedded changes in the service
which remain today and continue to sustain Lancashire
constabulary’s standards of excellence. He instigated service
programmes to reverse declining confidence following police
contact and delivered policing to communities through a
network of dedicated beat managers, PCSOs and volunteers. He
also reduced stop-search disproportionality and achieved
minority ethnic recruitment targets.
In March 2005 Sir Paul moved to the Met as Deputy
Commissioner where he has been committed to organisational
improvement, and a focussed productivity programme which has
released £300 million to finance transformational change.
Since December 2008 he has been Acting Commissioner.
He is also a member of ACPO Cabinet and Council, as well as
NPIA board member and policing lead for the Design and
Technology Alliance, both Home Secretary appointments.
