Dame Lynne Owens, the Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, is set to retire after 35 years in law enforcement. Starting as a police constable in 1989, she held notable positions, including Director General of the National Crime Agency and Chief Constable of Surrey Police. Returning to the Met during a challenging period, Owens supported significant reforms and expressed pride in the progress made. Despite her departure, she emphasized the continuing efforts required and the importance of her successor in advancing their achievements. She will retire in May 2023.
"It has been an honour and privilege to return to the Met to support Sir Mark in making the changes that were needed, and which crucially were wanted by our officers and staff."
"I am proud of the progress we have made and our people deserve so much credit for their role in identifying what needed to be done and then delivering that for Londoners."
