Superintendent Rhona Hunt’s first experience in policing was gained while attending University College London, where she volunteered as a special constable to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a police officer. After graduating, she joined the Metropolitan Police as a full-time officer while also going on to earn a master’s degree from the University of Cambridge. 

Superintendent Hunt has demonstrated a significant impact in every role she has served, a trait that helped her rise through the ranks to become chief inspector at age 30 and attain the rank of superintendent a year later, becoming one of the youngest senior leaders in the Metropolitan Police. 

Community policing has been a focal point of Supt. Hunt’s work, along with striving to build a more positive view of law enforcement. Her postgraduate research has influenced significant policy changes within her agency, including the implementation of groundbreaking community-led training for officers. Supt. Hunt’s leadership has transformed multiple teams across departments and has steadied an otherwise turbulent relationship with communities. Her success is reflected in the numerous awards and commendations her work has garnered.  

Supt. Hunt also serves as a board member on the Metropolitan Police Ethics Board and a hostage and crisis negotiator, while continuing to mentor others. Known as an inspiring and dynamic leader, she is an excellent ambassador for the Metropolitan Police and aspiring women in leadership.  

"My vision is for a police service that serves the public with compassion, listens, learns, and has legitimacy among all communities."
