MPA statement concerning CMDR Brian Paddick

27/02
18 March 2002

The Metropolitan Police Authority, following discussions with the Commissioner, has today decided to ask an independent police officer from an outside force, under the supervision of the PCA, to conduct an inquiry into the allegations that Commander Brian Paddick has committed a breach of the *police disciplinary regulations.

Commander Paddick has not been suspended, but the Authority has advised the Commissioner that Commander Paddick should be moved from his current post to another role while the investigation is carried out.

Toby Harris, Chair of the MPA, said:

“I have been impressed by the recent progress made by Brian Paddick in his efforts to build up relationships with the community in Lambeth and drive down crime. I hope these improvements will continue.”
