Easter Addresses
April 28th- Sir Ian Blair
Sir Ian Blair, Britain's most senior policeman, will address the Union on Monday 28th April, on his life and his career in the police force.
He had been on the force for 34 years and has served as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police since February 2005. During his tenure London has had to deal with the 7/7 bombings. His reaction to this event and others, and his general approach to policing the capital, have attracted both praise and criticism.
Please note that tight security at this event will require members to carry photo ID.
