Hogan-Howe, who made his name by cutting crime as head of the Liverpool force in northwest England, will oversee one of Scotland Yard's biggest security challenges yet, the 2012 London Olympics.
He must also rebuild the Met's reputation after his predecessor Paul Stephenson quit over the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World tabloid, and will seek to reassure Londoners after riots tore across the city in August.
Hogan-Howe was parachuted in to his current role after former commissioner Paul Stephenson and former assistant commissioner John Yates quit in the space of 24 hours in July.
