The job advertisement for Dame Cressida Dick's permanent successor as Met Police commissioner has been published by the Home Office.

The advert stipulates that the new commissioner must be "inspirational" and have experience of leading a policing organisation.

The salary for the role is £292,938. Applications will close on 4 May.

The successful candidate will ultimately be appointed by the Queen on the home secretary's recommendation.

Doesn't seem outlandishly high, for a position of such authority and responsibility. Not in comparison to football club CEOs earning multiple times as much, anyway!

Do you have to be a copper, or will they look out of the box?

It says that the applicant 'must have experience of leading a policing organisation'.

I read that as must have a police background - though not necessarily OUR police.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Isn’t Bas Javid already in line? Keep it in the family?

 

[Eeyore]

There are Division Three footballers earning more than that.

 

[Poojah]

Why would I take a pay cut?

 

[GT49er]

There are Division Three footballers earning more than that.

...... and Prime Ministers earning barely half that.


(and yes, we know that some people think that's far too much, and he should go, and he's a liar, etc., etc. There are perfectly good threads available)

Isn’t that about a months salary for Steve Foster ..

Thousands and thousands of people who are not CEOs or even directors earn way more than that in the financial services industry but they are usually appointed to those roles through nepotism so I guess it’s not a fair comparison they would not be advertised to the general hoi polloi.

Perfect script for the late John Sullivan and Del Boy.

 

[Justice]

Wouldn’t get out of bed for that nonsense.

What a pile of tosh.

You couldn’t pay me enough to be in charge of that mob of racist, misogynistic, homophobic, bullies. Especially when a huge part of the job seems to be protecting and covering up for the convicted criminal, Boris Johnson. Thanks for asking though.

Trust me the police here on the whole are very good when compared to the ones back home . Be careful what you wish for .

You’re quite right. I was being a bit dramatic.

I don't know.
I'd say your summation of the Met was pretty spot on

 

[darkwolf666]

You can all make your cheap jibes, painting all members of The Met with the same brush, but there are plenty of officers who don’t think for a moment for their own safety to do the job of protecting others, and are quite prepared to put themselves in danger.

Watch the video, then ask if you would happily put yourself in the officers’ position.

You are right. There have been quite a few instances at work where the police have had to attend and it was like the cavalry arriving. I was being glib.

Do you get perks like 'as much truncheon meat as you can eat'?

I'll get my coat, helmet and big shiny black boots
