He just added another feather to his cap by becoming Metropolitan Lead for Diversity and Inclusion. This is coming as part of the re-organization withing the Metropolitan Police .
Responding to his appointment, Victor said '' It has been a tremendous three years for me in Haringey, a time that I have enjoyed immensely and during which I have had the good fortune to work with many extraordinary members of the community and partner agencies, and many brilliant officers and staff. We have achieved significant reductions in crime, seen confidence in the police increase and developed strong working relationship with many different communities and partner agencies. I shall miss working here greatly."
''It’s a great privilege to be appointed as the Met's new diversity lead and I’m looking forward to continuing Denise’s work. We’ve come a long way but there’s still more we can do to become a police service that’s more diverse and inclusive''
