"I want to thank all the partners we work with in government, in City Hall and across London. And I want to thank the public for the support they show the Met, and have shown me personally, as we do our difficult jobs," Hogan-Howe was quoted as saying by the MPS press service.

The head of Police added that he came to this position with an aim "to fight crime and make the MPS the best, most professional police service."
