The head of London’s Metropolitan Police resigned on Thursday evening stating she has lost the confidence of Mayor Sadiq Khan.

“It is with huge sadness that following contact with the Mayor of London today, it is clear the Mayor no longer has sufficient confidence in my leadership to continue,” Cressida Dick said in a statement.

“He has left me no choice but to step aside as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service,” she added.

Dick, 61, will stay “for a short period” while arrangements are made for a transition to a new Commissioner.

Her resignation comes over a week after the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) released a report in which it flagged “inappropriate behaviours” within the Metropolitan Police’s ranks including racism, misogyny, harassment and the exchange of offensive social media messages.
