Department: Metropolitan Police AuthorityPublished: 2010-06-10 09:09:5630/109 June 2010 The Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) has appointed three new Commanders to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), equivalent to assistant chief constables in other forces. They are: Christine Jones, currently Chief Superintendent, MPS Diplomatic Protection Group Steve Rodhouse, currently Chief Superintendent Surrey Constabulary Jim Webster, currently Chief Superintendent Devon and Cornwall Constabulary A panel of MPA members interviewed the candidates. Tim Godwin, Deputy Commissioner, acted as police adviser, and Catherine Crawford, Chief Executive to the Authority, also advised the panel. MPA Chair Kit Malthouse, who led the promotion panel, said: "I congratulate the successful candidates, each of whom impressed the panel with their strategic and tactical knowledge and policing experience. While all the candidates displayed abilities, we believe we have chosen the most skilled to join the Met´s strategic command. “The job of the MPA is to fight crime by getting the best out of the Met. To ensure we make real progress the MPA has introduced Met Forward, a three year strategic mission setting out how we want the Met to develop and perform. We expect the Met’s new Commanders to use their skills, expertise and professionalism to deliver on Met Forward to provide efficient and effective policing for the people of London.” The new commanders’ specific roles will be announced by the Commissioner in due course. Commenting on the promotions, Deputy Commissioner Tim Godwin said: "I´m pleased to welcome the three successful candidates who I believe will bring with them the dedication and commitment that Londoners rightly expect to ensure that we are delivering exceptional policing. The role of Commander in the Met is a demanding but hugely rewarding one and I look forward to working closely with all three." Notes to Editors 1.
