Former Met chief Lord Hogan-Howe joins listed law firm Rosenblatt
Former London police chief Lord Bernard Hogan-Howe has joined listed law firm Rosenblatt as an adviser, the firm said today.
Hogan-Howe was the head of London’s Metropolitan Police as commissioner of police of the metropolis from 2011 until 2017.
During his time in office, Hogan-Howe oversaw the London 2012 Olympics and dealt with the aftermath of the Paris attacks, in which the number of armed officers patrolling the streets of the capital was increased. He was also in office for the 2013 murder of Lee Rigby.
In 2014 he broke off a radio interview to pursue and arrest a suspected thief, which meant he had made an arrest in every rank he had held to that point since becoming an officer in 1979.
