I think the clues in the name Hogan-Howe.
Probably never done a proper days policing in his career. Wouldn't know what it's like to be responding to an emergency call not knowing what awaits you when you arrive.
No he's probably moved from office post to office post all his police career.
A politicians wipe.

A simple bit of research would show you he started on the lowest rung in 1979 and spent all his life working hard to climb up the ladder to the position he is in now. Something the kids of today should be doing, you can't get a better example of improving your lot than the current commissioner.

Sorry my research didn't mention "Lowest Rung". My research indicated he joined the police in 1979 and quickly realised if he buggered of to university and got an MA he could end up running the show if he kissed the right

It will take a lot to knock Ian Blair off his pedestal as King of The Brown Nosers

In the business world we call that 'Bettering yourself to improve your lot in life" instead of the majority starting on the bottom rung, staying there, and spending every day moaning about it. People who improve themselves deserve everything they get out of a career. If that includes kissing the bosses , so be it, we've all probably done a bit of grovelling, over time, etc to try and make ourselves look better to the management.

I happened to hear Hogan-howe on a radio phone in show here in london (LBC)

I was not impressed at all and he will not say anything against the latest cuts in police numbers, this guy actually sounds like any other mp

There were better candidates for this position and i would prefer someone who was going to defend the force and not agree with every government policy
