POLICE SERVICE CRYING OUT FOR STRONG LEADERSHIP- Dee Doocey

4.16.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 2nd Oct 2008

Commenting on the resignation of Sir Ian Blair, Dee Doocey AM the Liberal Democrat London Assembly spokesperson on policing and a member of the Metropolitan Police Authority said:

"The Metropolitan Police Service is crying out for strong leadership, and whoever takes over has a mountain to climb. The lack of leadership at the top of the MPS in recent weeks and months has resulted in the top brass fighting among themselves, rather then getting on with their real jobs of policing London.

"The Met must now devote all it's efforts on keeping the streets of our capital safe rather than vying for power and fighting each other."
