Met Assistant Commissioner sacked
01 January 1994
Assistant Commissioner, Wyn Jones, has become the most senior officer to be dismissed from the Metropolitan Police. Jones, who was once tipped to become the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, faced ten allegations of "misconduct" involving 31 offences. He was dismissed in December after failing to secure a judicial review of his case. He had been on leave with full pay for the past three years. Mr Jones had been responsible for the policing of Greenham Common during the anti-nuclear demonstrations in the 1980s and was the senior officer at the News International dispute at Wapping in east London. He headed the Met's Personnel Department before being sacked.
