'Sir David was a policeman’s policeman. '
David McNee went on to become the first ever Chief Constable of Strathclyde Police and was later Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police for five years.
Throughout his life, McNee remained a devout Christian and it was at a Sunday service he met his first wife Isabell Hopkins, a company secretary. He had been living in London for the past 10 years but it was assumed he would head back to Glasgow to hide out. Fearing they may kill again, McNee ordered detectives to be armed and use their weapons if necessary on the two escapees.There he had to contend with a growing number of terrorist attacks by the IRA on the streets of London, the Iranian embassy siege, the Brixton race riots and the marriage of Charles and Diana.
Meanwhile, McNee was putting more officers on the beat, increasing the size of the Met from 22,500 to 26,500, and attempting to root out corruption. In July 1982, Michael Fagan had been able to scale the walls of Buckingham Palace and find his way into her quarters.He accepted that the Met had failed, but insisted that the blame lay elsewhere. He also claimed that Palace staff and government officials had prevented him from introducing improved security measures.
The royal family were not alone in requiring improved security McNee had a house overlooking leafy Epsom Downs in Surrey.
