Mr. C. E. Howard Vincent, Director of Criminal Investigations, Metropolitan Police Department, 1883. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Byrne and Co. 'Mr. Howard Vincent was appointed to the control of the criminal business of the Metropolitan Police, with the designation of "Director of Criminal Investigations." He has since applied himself with great perseverance to the arduous duties of his office; and has sought, at the same time, to advance in every possible way the personal welfare of the policemen. From 1880 to January last he was chairman of the Metropolitan Police Orphanage, and he is about to take over the editorship of the Police Gazette. Mr. Howard Vincent is author of "The Police Code, and Manual of the Criminal Law"...There are rumours of his intended desire to enter Parliamentary life at an early date. We hope they are not well founded, seeing that his official services are of greater value to the public...Five-and-twenty inspectors, of advanced education, many of them speaking foreign languages, and others skilled draughtsmen, or proficients in various accomplishments, serve directly under him at Scotland-yard'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
