Former New York City?Police Commissioner William Bratton tells NBC?New York that he has accepted a job as a consultant in Britain to try to help control gang violence there.
Bratton said Friday afternoon that he spoke to Prime Minister David Cameron and expects to begin the job soon.
The post will be as a long-term consultant, and is not specifically aimed at addressing the violence that has recently erupted there. Bratton tells NBC?New York he won?t begin the work for at least a week or so.
The project will be conducted by?Bratton?s Manhattan-based private security firm, Kroll, and will focus on the broader problem of gang violence.
Hundreds of people have been arrested in London and elsewhere amid rioting that began after a fatal police shooting.
The former commissioner, who also lead police departments in Boston and Los Angeles, says he is not moving overseas permanently.
Bratton was New York?City police commissioner to then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani from 1993 to 1996, overseeing Giuliani?s crime-fighting efforts.
