Dick has faced calls to quit over her force's handing of major investigations and protests

London - London police chief Cressida Dick, who has faced calls to quit over her force's handing of major investigations and protests, will remain in her role as Britain's most senior officer, the British government said on Friday.

“I am immensely honoured and humbled to have been asked to extend my time as commissioner for a further two years,” Dick said in a statement. She was personally criticised in June by a damning inquiry into police failings into a long, unsolved murder investigation which said she had delayed the panel's work.

More generally, police have come under fire for a rise in serious violence and knife crime, particularly among teenagers, while the policing of protests in the capital has been attacked for being either too heavy-handed, or too tolerant by allowing demonstrations to cause chaos in the capital.
