About
Mark Rowley is the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in London. He is currently newsworthy due to several high-profile issues facing the Met.

The Met is also deploying new technologies like drones and ebikes to combat phone theft. Rowley's role is significant as he leads the police force responsible for maintaining law and order in London, addressing terrorism threats, and working to improve community relations amidst accusations of racism and other forms of discrimination.
