Stephen House, Helen Ball and Nick Ephgrave were key lieutenants of ex-commissioner Dame Cressida Dick
Three of the most senior officers at the scandal-hit Metropolitan police have announced their departures five weeks before a new commissioner is due to take over tasked with making sweeping changes.
All three were key lieutenants of the former commissioner Dame Cressida Dick who was forced to stand down in February after London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, accused her of failing to deal with a culture of misogyny and racism.
